11-21-2014 Financial Modeling and Forecasting Boot Camp

Friday, November 21st, 2014

Cash Budget, Capital Budgeting, Financial Statement Analysis, Financial Forecasting, Regression, Non-linear regression, Time Series models, Monte Carlo analysis – suited for corporate finance (FP&A, Treasury), and private equity industry analysts, associates, and hands-on managers.

Overview:

Financial modeling and forecasting is mostly an MBA-level class in business schools, or in-house course in major corporate finance departments. As a result many financial analysts who do not have this training are often at a disadvantage and struggle to understand the concepts required to forecast financial and business performance.

This 1-day intensive training program fills that void and provides a comprehensive understanding of corporate finance, capital budgeting, cost of capital, fundamentals of stocks and bonds, regression, time-series, and Monte Carlo simulations using a hands-on approach. The boot camp covers the following:

Morning (9am to 12 noon)

  •  Introductions
  • Time Value of Money
  •  Introduction and Valuation of Bonds
  • Introduction and Valuation of Stocks
  • Cash Budget
  •  Financial Ratio Analysis

Afternoon (1pm to 5.30pm)

  • Regression
  • Non-linear Regression
  • Web Query
  • Time-Series
  • Introduction to VBA
  • Business/Financial Analytics
  • Monte Carlo Simulations

Method of instruction:

Very similar to a graduate school. Between ten to fifteen participants with laptops will go through a theoretical framework first, and then will try to solve a real-life problem using the concepts just learned and Microsoft excel. 

Required Calculator: Financial Calculator (Texas Instruments BA II PLUS). All examples in class will be demonstrated using this calculator.

Bring your Excel (2007 and above) loaded laptop to the class.
