GLOBAL INDUSTRIES INTELLIGENCE

Professional’s Training
This intensive and highly practical workshop will teach delegates how to design and construct and then effectively use robust
financial models, using the unique branded system developed by Dr Gerald Strever, the “Financial Modelling Quadrant system.

The four Quadrants are:

• Identifying the Drivers of the intrinsic value of the company

• Model the Financial Statements - Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow
• Model the Sensitivity of the intrinsic value of the company by flexing the Drivers
• Simulate the possible variability of the intrinsic value of the company using Monte Carlo Simulation.

This is a Research-Based Training Course: the course curriculum has been developed and designed from research with actual
industry practitioners and will in just 2 days give you all the tools and techniques needed to move from basic techniques to
becoming a “blackbelt” in Financial Modelling. Other courses in the market cover only one Quadrant – the Financial Statements.

All the topics covered will include hands-on exercises and delegates will each receive a link to free online file, containing all the
exercises plus the Excel Add-lns for the Risk Simulation and Sensitivity Exercises, plus a User Defined Function, XMIRR, created
by the workshop trainer.

These Add-Ins are not time-limited and can therefore be used after the workshop. They represent what is arguably the richest
set of software available with any Financial Modelling workshop in the market.

The File also contains additional exercises, with model answers, for revision purposes.

The workshop is practical & focused: each of the modules presented will include step-by step explanations and hands - on
examples. There will be simulation exercises with practical computer-based exercises focusing on unique financial modelling
scenarios. A comprehensive Workshop Reference Manual will be provided - packed with ideas, techniques, graphics, flow-
charts and advanced Excel tools.. Please bring your laptop computer to the workshop. Your computer must be Windows based
with a full installation of Excel 2010 or later, including the Analysis ToolPak and Solver as well as Adobe Reader.

We strongly recommend that delegates use a dual-monitor setup. This will enable them to work through the exercises, along
Dr. Gerald. The simplest way to achieve this is to use two computers.

Alternatively, if you have access to a 2nd standalone monitor, you can set up Zoom and your computer in dual screen mode.
There are several tutorials on YouTube showing how to set up dual monitors. A good one can be found at:

Prerequisites
Participants should have a working knowledge of Financial Statements and a good knowledge of Microsoft Excel.

Free Takeaways
Excel Add-Ins – SenSit and SimVoi plus a User Defined Function, XMIRR.
COURSE OBJECTIVES

By end of the course, delegates will be able to:-

• DISCOVER the most efficient ways in planning, designing, structuring, cross-checking and auditing your financial models
• CONSTRUCT robust, reliable financial models that are easy to amend and maintain integrity
• UNDERSTAND advanced techniques and applications in financial modelling
• LEARN to measure, interpret and predict a company’s performance using advanced Excel financial models
• IMPROVE decision-making processes with better risk evaluation, sensitivity analysis and scenario modelling
• SAVE time on the analysis and manipulation of your financial models with keen insights from our expert
• SOLVE your real-life financial modelling issues and challenges
• APPLY powerful visualization techniques to deliver maximum impact when presenting your financial models
• OPTIMIZE financial models to ensure they are easy-to-use and well-documented in accordance with spread-sheet modelling best
practices
• PREPARE financial models to address a variety of financial modelling scenarios

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

1. In business, every decision has an impact on the overall performance of the organization. Managers and shareholders need to,
therefore, make the best decisions to keep their firms afloat. The best run companies internationally use Financial Modeling to
assist them in making the best decisions.

2. A business model can be understood as a simulation of the financial position of the firm, several years from now. Aspects such as
returns on investment(ROI), profitability, costs, revenues, cash flows, and numerous others are reflected by the model. With the
information of your firm’s future position at your fingertips, you are more likely to make the best decisions.

3. Without a Financial Model of your company, everyone has his or her version of the position of the company, now and in the
future. Making the right decisions is, as a result, difficult since each stakeholder thinks that he or she is right. With an integrated
business model in place, decisions will be made easily and fast since they will be based on information from a single source.
The course curriculum has been developed and designed from research with actual industry practitioners and will, in just 2 days,
give you all the tools and techniques needed to move from basic techniques to becoming a “Black Belt” in Financial Modelling.
Other courses in the market cover only one Quadrant – the Financial Statements.

PRE- and POST-COURSE SUPPORT

• You will receive pre-course readings on "Primer on Financial Statements" and "Primer on The Time Value of Money" plus a set of
“Excel Refresher” exercises.
• You will receive unlimited online support after completing the workshop, with any questions you may have relating to the topics
and skills learned on the workshop, for life.
