Modelling and structured finance - essential skills in building a financial model

Financial forecasting is full of difficulties. Developing a financial model is however essential. In our programmes we address key issues in structuring a robust, easy to use, and flexible financial model; "do's and don'ts" in structuring any financial model; analysing key financial assumptions; auditing tools when reviewing models; modelling different levels of debt and equity; the rating agencies' approach to stress testing; and use of analysis tools including Monte Carlo simulations.
