Frequently Asked Question

We will analyse the past financial statements an performance of a company. We will Model & Forecast their potential future performance using Excel and Statistical techniques, What If Analysis & Simulation such as Monte Carlo Simulation which allows us to simulate what might happen using probability and random variables. Needless to say, the trainer will take you through all the necessary steps

This Financial Analysis, Modelling & Forecasting training course will enable bankers to decide whether or not to lend and how to reduce the risk. It will also enable managers to evaluate their performance in order to improve profitability, liquidity and sustainability. More over it will also enable you to make improve investment decisions.

Whilst this course is not designed to examine IFRS (we do have courses that specifically do this), all the financial statements we evaluate will be in accordance with IFRS and will highlight where specific interpretations of IFRS might effect the figures shown.

Analysis of the impact of ESG Environmental, Social & Governance issues as well as the PEST Factors for example Political & Economic play a major role.
