Course Overview

Time changes, and successful businesses should be able to respond to economic turbulence or when the business environment is functioning as powerfully and effectively as possible.

A financial model is a great way to assess the performance of a business on both a historical and projected basis. It is critical to have a linked 3-Statement Financial Model in Excel before beginning either type of analysis. A linked model will dynamically show how your assumptions affect your financial statements. It provides a way for the analyst to organize a business’s operations and analyze the results in both a “time-series” format (measuring the company’s performance against itself over time) and a “cross-sectional” format (measuring the company’s performance against industry peers).

This Scenario and Sensitivity in Financial modelling course will offer examples of both Sensitivity Analysis and Scenario Analysis, explanations of each type, when it should be used, and the advantages of each. The programme is also designed to teach you how to perform Excel sensitivity analysis with a focus on practical applications for professionals working in investment banking, equity research, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), and finance functions.  The tutorial goes step by step through all the formulas and functions required to perform the analysis in Excel from scratch.

By the end of this course, you will have a thorough grasp of how to build a robust sensitivity analysis system into your Excel financial model that can be used in corporate finance, investment banking, commercial banking, and portfolio management.
