تفاصيل الدورة

 

When done well, Financial Models are powerful tools that can be used to help organisations make good business decisions. But building robust and relevant financial models is not always easy.

This course provides a solid introduction to financial modelling - exploring why and how they are used by businesses, and how the standards (FAST) that exist can ensure that the financial models you develop work for your businesses.

  • Establish how to set up and structure input sheets, working sheets and output sheets
