Techniques to value the enterprise and equity are emphasized with focus on mature firms in developed markets, followed by financial institution, emerging market, and private equity applications. Participants will gain proficiency in spreadsheet analysis, financial models for integrated financial forecast, and valuation. Attention to developing the communication skills needed to effectively communicate the analysis is embedded through cases and presentations.
