Course Overview
When considering financial opportunities, performing accurate and realistic analysis is imperative. In the modern constantly-changing business milieu, the ability to merely manipulate spreadsheets is important, yet insufficient.Being able to incorporate all "what if" scenarios and stress any proposal to its limits confers, on the other hand, considerable advantages upon the practitioner.
Working financial models can facilitate and improve the reliability and quality of decision making.
