Course Details

What is the financial model?

A financial modeling Course in Dubai is simply a tool that’s built-in Excel to forecast a business’ financial performance into the future.  The forecast is typically based on the company’s historical performance, and assumptions about the future, and requires preparing an income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and supporting schedules (known as a 3-statement model). From there, more advanced types of models can be built such as discounted cash flow analysis (DCF model), leveraged buyout (LBO), mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and sensitivity analysis.

What You Will Learn in Financial Modeling:

• Excel shortcuts and functions frequently used in financial modeling

Constructing a cash flow statement:

We explore the layout of the cash flow statement, explain the differences between the cash flow statement and the income statement, and prepare a cash flow statement from scratch. By the end of this module, you will have a solid understanding of how to construct a cash flow statement.

• Outline the format of the cash flow statement
• Explain the difference between profit and cash
• Prepare a simple cash flow statement using the balance sheet and income statement

Financial mathematics course:

This module course demonstrates how a number of financial mathematics formulas can be used to conduct a detailed analysis of a set of data and/or variables.

• Time value of money
• Bond pricing and yields
• Statistics & financial mathematics

Fixed Income Basics:

This Module will introduce you to the main products and players in the fixed-income markets. It illustrates the points covered using real market data and examples of the most commonly used Bloomberg screens for bonds. Core concepts such as bond pricing, duration, and yield curves are covered in detail.

Introduction to Corporate Finance:

This Module will introduce you to the Understanding of Capital Markets, Business Valuation, Mergers & Acquisitions, Equity Financing, Debt Financing

Advanced Excel Modeling:

This module will cover practices in Excel for building models with tips and tricks, better formulas, and scenario planning.

Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis in Excel:

How to perform scenario & sensitivity analysis in Excel for FP&A, investment banking, and equity research.

Financial Statement modeling:

In this course, you will develop a 3-statement model completely from scratch, inputting historical data and assumptions to project out financial statements using step-by-step instructions on selecting, locating, and developing appropriate projection drivers. At completion, you will have developed a complete and comprehensive three-statement model using various supporting schedules. By the end of the course, trainees will gain skills that lay the foundation for many other modeling methodologies.

DCF Modeling:

Build a complete, working discounted cash flow (DCF) model in Excel from scratch, using a real case study, industry best practices, and sensitivity analyses. DCF analysis is both academically respected and widely used as a primary method of valuation Company case study, Amazon Case Study: Value AMZN Shares with a Detailed DCF Model and Comps Analysis.

Monthly cash flow modeling:

This course is critical for anyone working in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), accounting, or finance departments and is required to build monthly financial models in their job.  Career paths may include accounting, finance, treasury, and corporate development.

Merger and Acquisition Model:

In this course, you’ll learn how to build a real M&A (accretion/dilution) model in Excel from scratch. In addition, you will build a contribution, synergy, and exchange ratio analysis, and learn key M&A accounting concepts.

Linear regression Model:

This course introduces a simple linear regression model. You will learn to assess the relationship between variables in a data set and a continuous response variable.

Basic understanding of Portfolio management:

After finishing this module, you will have a solid understanding of how to perform correlation, Beta, Covariance, and Standard deviation using Historical Data.

Monte Carlo Simulation:

In this Module, we will perform risk analysis by building models of possible results by substituting a range of values—a probability distribution—for any factor that has inherent uncertainty. It then calculates results over and over, each time using a different set of random values from the probability functions.

Portfolio Optimization Models:

We will implement a portfolio optimization methodology based on capital asset pricing and mean-variance analysis. Our goals are to use consistent, repeatable steps and to construct realistic, optimal portfolios that are stable over time.
