Course overview
Who says accountants cannot be models? Well, we can certainly BUILD models! Financial modelling is the process of estimating the financial performance of a project or business by considering all relevant factors, growth and risk assumptions, and interpreting their impact. It enables the professional to acquire a concise knowledge of all the variables involved in financial forecasting. In this learning session, CPD Campus takes a closer look at financial modelling and how to incorporate and deal with the variables that impact the financial modelling process. Building a realistic financial model according to which a business can operate is one of the most important, yet challenging, aspects of entrepreneurship.
