Infos

Financial Modelling in Practice: A Concise Guide for
Intermediate and Advanced Level is a practical, comprehensive
and in-depth guide to financial modelling designed to cover the
modelling issues that are relevant to facilitate the construction
of robust and readily understandable models.

Based on the authors extensive experience of building models in
business and finance, and of training others how to do so this book
starts with a review of Excel functions that are generally most
relevant for building intermediate and advanced level models (such
as Lookup functions, database and statistical functions and so
on). It then discusses the principles involved in designing,
structuring and building relevant, accurate and readily
understandable models (including the use of sensitivity analysis
techniques) before covering key application areas, such as the
modelling of financial statements, of cash flow valuation, risk
analysis, options and real options. Finally, the topic of financial
modelling using VBA is treated. Practical examples are used
throughout and model examples are included in the attached
CD-ROM.

Aimed at intermediate and advanced level modellers in Excel who
wish to extend and consolidate their knowledge, this book is
focused, practical, and application-driven, facilitating knowledge
to build or audit a much wider range of financial models.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are
not included as part of eBook file.
