Financial Modelling in Excel \"Open<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Are you a finance professional?
\n\u2022 Do you use spreadsheet models?
\n\u2022 Do you want to learn how to build spreadsheet models?
\n\u2022 Do you need to achieve consistency in models across your team?
\n\u2022 Do you want to incorporate best practice into your models?
\n\u2022 Do you want others to be able to use your models in the future?
\n\"Training
\nSpreadsheet modelling (sometimes referred to as financial modelling) is essentially a set of best practice techniques to achieve consistency across your spreadsheets. The two of the key benefits of spreadsheet modelling are ‘control’ and ‘succession planning’.<\/p>\n

Spreadsheet Control<\/strong>
\nSpreadsheet models are built with controls in mind and with the aim of eliminating spreadsheet errors.<\/p>\n

Succession planning for Spreadsheets<\/strong>
\nSpreadsheet models are designed so they are easy to understand and use, with a transparent design and documentation. This ensures that they can be used across teams and over time as people leave and join the team.<\/p>\n

This training course builds on our Spreadsheet (Excel) Skills for Finance course<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is designed for experienced excel users who need to learning modelling techniques.<\/p>\n

Spreadsheets are fantastic business tools and we hardly utilise their potential. This course aims to ‘get you up to speed’ and give you an insight into excel’s true potential.<\/p>\n
