Financial Forecasting Using Excel’s Powerful Sensitivity Tools
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Miles Hutchinson
Webinar Description
Financial analysis is an area of opportunity and risk. Analysis should incorporate tests of sensitivity to changes in key variables using the most advanced tools available. Typical financial models do not effectively utilize these tools. This shortcoming exposes an analyst to blind spots in the analysis. Any business person conducting financial analysis should obtain and become proficient with the more sophisticated “what if” analysis tools of the trade.
In just 90 minutes, experienced CGMA and financial analyst, Miles Hutchinson, will demonstrate these powerful sensitivity tools for you using Microsoft Excel™. He will provide practical instructions and guidance for applying these modeling techniques and identify the key cautions to help you avoid potential misfires.
