Certificate in Financial Modelling and Valuation [eLearning]

About the course

Finance professionals usually have to work with large volumes of numerical data. However, the key to successfully handle such data is the ability to organize and structure it meaningfully to render them useful to senior management for decision making. This entails creation of robust and dynamic financial models facilitating accurate and efficient analysis of historical data and appropriate projection of financial performance.

We have experienced that a robust and well-structured financial model is critical to achieving correct valuation analysis, which, in turn, fuels well-informed and appropriate strategic organizational decisions. The importance of sound financial modelling skills, deep understanding of valuation methods and the assessment of outputs of valuations for finance professionals should never be underestimated!

The candidates will learn to create efficient, robust and flexible financial models to report and analyze historical data, prepare future projections and present integrated financial statements, key financial ratios, outputs in a logical, summarized and effective manner. Candidates will understand and apply these skills with the help of examples specially devised to demonstrate alternate ways to compute various financial parameters. The course also introduces basics of business valuation, various valuation methods and interpretation of the results of valuation. The learnings from these demonstrations and examples will be further augmented by a holistic case-study, which will cover all the modules taught. On completion of the course, the candidates should be able to develop well-structured, robust and dynamic financial models to perform independent business valuation.
