Mastering the Power of Sensitivity Tools in Financial Modeling

Why Should You Attend:

You know that Financial Modeling is based on the idea that forecasts are subject to variation and this variation should be tested and communicated as an aide to effective to decision making.

What if our projections are incorrect? How much variation can we live with when making decisions involving significant amounts of time, money and other resources? How can we express the degree of variation in the expected results current operations and future projects? How well do we quantify upside potential AND the downside risk in our decision making? How do we know, up front and with certainty, if the decision is right? Financial modeling and forecasting from reasoned logic, realistic ranges for our significant variables and proper application of sensitivity testing should provide us with the answers to these questions.
