Product Description

Product Description

Financial Modelling in Practice: A Concise Guide for Intermediate and Advanced Level is a practical, comprehensive and in–depth guide to financial modelling designed to cover the modelling issues that are relevant to facilitate the construction of robust and readily understandable models.

Based on the authors extensive experience of building models in business and finance, and of training others how to do so this book starts with a review of Excel functions that are generally most relevant for building intermediate and advanced level models (such as Lookup functions, database and statistical functions and so on).  It then discusses the principles involved in designing, structuring and building relevant, accurate and readily understandable models (including the use of sensitivity analysis techniques) before covering key application areas, such as the modelling of financial statements, of cash flow valuation, risk analysis, options and real options. Finally, the topic of financial modelling using VBA is treated. Practical examples are used throughout and model examples are included in the attached CD–ROM.

Aimed at intermediate and advanced level modellers in Excel who wish to extend and consolidate their knowledge, this book is focused, practical, and application–driven, facilitating knowledge to build or audit a much wider range of financial models.

Note: CD–ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

From the Inside Flap

"A well structured reference. If you are unclear how best to approach a modelling task or you are ready to reconsider some of your modelling habits, this is a useful bag of tricks and thoughts which can greatly simplify your task."
Dominik Geller; Head of Corporate Risk Management; F. Hoffmann La Roche AG

"Michael Rees has written a financial modelling book that is exceptional in its clarity, balance of theory and practice, and its abundance of invaluable examples. Comprehensive and application–driven in its topical coverage, it is one of the very few books that address the modelling process itself. Michael Rees enables even the desperate readers to design, structure and build models appropriate for their situation and provides them with a sound and practical foundation to bring financial modelling to life."
Johannes Klose, Principal, Allianz Risk Transfer

"With this outstanding book the reader gets a comprehensive guideline on how to build financial models by showing a path from theoretical approaches to more realistic models. I have never seen such a good explanation of the basic aspects of financial modelling and the presentation of risk modelling including the application of statistical functions. Mike combines visual explanations with mathematical functions and statements where necessary. Supported with a lot of examples this gives the reader a quick understanding of the different topics. The logical development from risk modelling to the analysis of real options is extremely helpful and to my knowledge has never been published in such a form. From my daily practise I would recommend this unique book to every professional or student who is engaged in business modelling and especially interested in risk management."
D. Martin Erdmann, Director Risk Management, Infineon Technologies AG

"Michael Rees has hit the nail on the head. In Financial Modelling in Practice, he has addressed many common problems business professionals face in accurately representing their real–life situations as Excel spreadsheets. Modelling is crucial for informed decision–making, as is taking uncertainty and risk into account. Michael Rees addresses these needs in a practical, easily understood way that is both robust and accessible."
Randy Heffernan, Vice President, Palisade Corporation

worth every penny 8 Dec 2008
By Acorn
Format:Hardcover
This is a really good book for those doing modeling in Excel and VBA. I already have most or all of the other books out there, but this one provides much more detail and advanced applications than those texts. In addition, the book covers a wide set of examples that you would otherwise have to try to buy separately (financial statements, options, real options, risk analysis, etc) and the VBA stuff is really useful and practical. The examples on the CD-ROM are excellent, consisting of high quality models. My only criticism is that there is so much material you cannot simply browse it in the same way that you can with some of the lower level texts-you need to read it in detail.

This is an excellent hands on book about building robust financial models, that can be used for decision making. It contains a wealth of useful excel samples and real modelling exercises. Practical , concise no-nonsense approach to modelling.

With a cd-rom BUT... 15 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover
..you'll find that some of the examples will keep working ONLY IF YOU BUY the risk software from such and such after the trial period has elapsed. So either you PAY MORE or you LOSE some value in the book. You can also wonder about the morality of shipping a CD which will work only for a time...
