3. Some answers were overly complicated and highly technical:
“Representation of behavior/real-world observations through mathematical approach designed to
anticipate range of outcomes.”
Some philosophical:
“A numerical story.”
Some incorrect:
“Forecasting wealth by putting money away now/investing.”
Some ridiculous:
“Something to do with money and fashion?”
Some honest:
“I really have no idea.”
And some downright profound:
“A complex spreadsheet.”
Introduction
4. Whilst there are many other (often very complicated and long-winded) definitions available from different
sources, the last answer might be more accurate, very broad, but accurate description: “a complex
spreadsheet.”
But DON’T BE AFRAID BECAUSE THIS TRAINING WILL SHOW TO CONSTRUCT THAT COMPLEX SPREAD SHEET.
In the end is just about input and output
Is Just About Inputs and Outputs!
5. What will you get?
Overview and technical knowledge about financial modelling in general, such as principal of
financial modeling, tool selection, model design, and best practice.
An extremely practical and hands-on excel utilization. Here we have outlined all of the tools,
techniques, and functions in Excel (about 30 functions!) that are commonly used in financial
modelling. Of course it does not cover everything Excel can do, but it covers the “must-know”
tools.
Common uses of financial model, such as modeling depreciation method, understanding
nominal and effective (real) rates, how to calculate WACC, several different methods of
performing scenarios and sensitivity analysis. Lastly, it covers the often-neglected task of
presenting model output.
