Mastering Financial Modeling (MFM©) is a comprehensive financial modeling workshop which covers the

practical requirement that a finance professional is expected to do in areas related to Financial Modeling. Excel

sheet is a predominant tool used in Modeling and the program shall cover its relevant usage in detail. The

workshop has 32 classroom contact hours spanning four days from 8 am to 6 pm. Objective of this program is

to build fundamental concepts on financial modeling and provide them techniques to build financial model

needed by their organisation.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

MFM©

starts with a 2 day basic program on financial modeling which explains about all the excel based

financial modeling required by finance professional working in any sector. The latter 2 days goes in depth into

the derivative solutions and its analysis and financial engineering models including the concepts of financial

mathematics.

Day 1-2: FINANCIAL MODELING WITH EXCEL (2 Days)

It is a generic program catering to the needs of all corporate professionals working in any sector. This program

will take an individual from basic to an intermediate level.

Pre Requisite: None Day 3-4: MODELING AND ANALYSING DERIVATIVES USING EXCEL (2 Days)

This is a neash financial modeling program which caters to only those working in derivatives and financial

engineering.

Pre-Requisite: It is expected participants should have an understanding of excel based financial modeling and working knowledge of derivatives.

Based on the need, you can enroll for entire 4 day program (MFM©) or for any of the two day program –

Day 1-2: FINANCIAL MODELING WITH EXCEL (2 Days) or Day 3-4: MODELING AND ANALYSING

DERIVATIVES USING EXCEL (2 Days)

HOW THE WORKSHOP WAS SHAPED

Some of the research and data points we have used in shaping the agenda include:

1. Talking to Senior business and Finance management group, Financial consultants and analysts in the private

and public sectors and seeking their views and advice on what are the critical issues in Financial Modeling

and where they are investing budget.

2. Seeking the views of thought leaders, industry analysts and leading consultants to mould the agenda.

3. OptiRisk is in a unique position as a major part of our business is also training - which includes large

portfolio of public and closed in-house courses – from this we track which courses are generating most

participation and importantly again, where organisations are investing budget. Training is an excellent

barometer to market trends.

We believe that this is the most focused of any Financial Modeling workshop in India.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

MS Excel ® is today unarguably the most commonly used spreadsheet utility globally to do finance. In spite of

this, according to various surveys on Excel usage, a rather miniscule percentage of Excel Users use it to its full

potential. The focus of the course is to help the participants learn the tools and capabilities of this spreadsheet

application to perform from the simplest to the most complicated and elaborate financial analysis.

Modeling & Analysing Derivatives Using Excel

–(From the same faculty)

Mumbai – 6th & 7

th October, 2010

Program Fee: INR 13,000/- + ST

The good thing about an over-engineered software like Excel is that it very well equiped to perform the most

sophisticated and detailed financial analysis. The downside to this is that financial analysis workbooks are

becoming increasingly bulky and unstructured. Many a times, they develop into unweildy, clumsy and difficult

to manage models, with the user having no clue as to what’s going in the spreadsheet and if the results are

accurate in the first place. Therefore, structuring good financial models is as much an art as a science.

The important aspects this workshop focuses on is to apply the tools effectively while constructing financial

models, caring for scalability, making them flexibile, structuring in such a way that auditing the model results is

not cumbersome. These essential attributes make financial models accurate, flexible and user-friendly. The

workshop would use a ‘learning by doing’ approach, because that’s how the science and art of financial

modeling is learnt.

Results:

We expect that the participants attending the course will be able to learn significant financial modeling

capabilities using Excel that would be pertinent for corporate finance, financial analysis, risk management,

transaction structuring like modeling for M&A, etc. The level of the course is Intermediate to advanced.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

A common misconception is that understanding derivatives requires knowing a lot of advanced math

which is the privilege of only the geeks. That said, sometimes you probably wonder how do these large bunch of

I-Bankers manage to provide derivative solutions to their clients because they don’t seem to have been rocket

scientists in their previous avatar. There would have also been questions like how do you actually engineer

those financial products? May be, you read something called Black Scholes, Ito’s Lemma, and so on but they

didn’t quite answer those questions convincingly, much less, make sense in the context of the real world of

finance.

In the last two decades, derivatives have become all-pervading in financial markets with outstanding

notionals in excess of US$ 600 trillion. If your profession has anything to do with finance, then there is a pretty

high chance that you will have something to do with derivatives at some point or the other. This course tries to

demystify and simplify derivatives using a tool like Excel. For a practioner, it may be difficult to relate the Black-

Scholes equation but it would probably start to make sense once you start thinking like an accountant about all

these greeks and put the differential equations in excel. In the workshop, we will start to think of each of these

greeks in terms of money, which is what traders do. The program covers a comprehensive list of topics that

derivative practioners need to understand for their day-to-day work.
