PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
MS Excel ® is today unarguably the most commonly used spreadsheet utility globally to do finance. In spite of
this, according to various surveys on Excel usage, a rather miniscule percentage of Excel Users use it to its full
potential. The focus of the course is to help the participants learn the tools and capabilities of this spreadsheet
application to perform from the simplest to the most complicated and elaborate financial analysis.

The good thing about an over-engineered software like Excel is that it very well equiped to perform the most
sophisticated and detailed financial analysis. The downside to this is that financial analysis workbooks are
becoming increasingly bulky and unstructured. Many a times, they develop into unweildy, clumsy and difficult
to manage models, with the user having no clue as to what’s going in the spreadsheet and if the results are
accurate in the first place. Therefore, structuring good financial models is as much an art as a science.

The important aspects this workshop focuses on is to apply the tools effectively while constructing financial
models, caring for scalability, making them flexibile, structuring in such a way that auditing the model results is
not cumbersome. These essential attributes make financial models accurate, flexible and user-friendly. The
workshop would use a ‘learning by doing’ approach, because that’s how the science and art of financial
modeling is learnt.

Results:
We expect that the participants attending the course will be able to learn significant financial modeling
capabilities using Excel that would be pertinent for corporate finance, financial analysis, risk management,
transaction structuring like modeling for M&A, etc. The level of the course is Intermediate to advanced.
