Business Planning Models for
HAs |
Course Objectives
- To provide a comprehensive understanding
of financial modelling
within a robust financial / accounting framework
- To enhance understanding of the use
of Excel as a modelling tool and provide advanced Excel
skills to improve communication using enhanced Excel
- To enable participants to apply all
of the learning to real situations in a financing context
by building from scratch an illustrative business planning
model that is accurate, easy to audit and robust
Design & Content
Design:
The content will cover a conceptual framework for financial
/ mathematical modelling but will be taught within a practical
context using Excel as the modelling tool. The programme will
follow a workshop format to encourage an interactive rather
than didactic approach to help develop practical modelling
skills. Real-life case studies will be used throughout the
course to provide continuity and to allow participants to
apply their new skills. Additional exercises will be used
to enhance the learning process.
This
is a hands-on course, structured with a high tutor/student
ratio to ensure that delegates can gain the maximum benefit
rather than waiting to ask questions such as “How do
I...?”
For this reason, a cap on the number of delegates is imposed.
There
will be no more than 8 delegates per FSMD tutor.
Content: The objective of the course is to provide
delegates with the practical skills to build the key elements
of an integrated business planning model.
Efficient and effective financial modelling is a powerful
tool for housing associations and related agencies seeking
to optimise their financial decision making and planning.
Models that facilitate accurate financial forecasting and
“what-if” analysis are essential in areas such
as project appraisal, funding and business planning.
In addition accurate presentation of a model’s outputs
is often critical in creating an efficient decision making
process. Communicating financial data to an association’s
board can be made much more effective by use of some readily-available
modelling tools.
This workshop will enhance understanding of the use of Excel’s
sensitivity tools and look at more advanced approaches to
managing scenarios. These techniques will help participants
to analyse more effectively and efficiently the financial
dynamics of a particular situation.
The workshop will also enhance understanding of techniques
and develop advanced spreadsheet handling skills for communication
purposes.
