Program Description
This case-driven webinar explores both the simple and more complex ways that Microsoft® Office Excel® can help financial analysts, consultants, and managers make better decisions. While the webinar centers on the development of a discounted cash flow analysis as a new product investment, sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis are also reviewed. In addition, an Excel-facilitated technique called "Data Tables" is discussed, which leads to the application of Monte Carlo Simulation.
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Utilize Discounted Cash Flow modeling, describe and develop sensitivity and scenario analysis
- Integrate "Data Tables" and accurately interpret the results
- Describe the Monte Carlo Simulation and its results while appropriately applying it to recommendations
- Employ the use of illustrations on numerous other valuation applications including M&A
Who Should Attend
CPAs, financial professionals, anyone wanting advanced Excel skills

Prior to 1998, Dr. Weaver was the Lauer Adjunct Professor of Finance at Lehigh University (1986 - 1997) and the Director, Financial Planning and Analysis at Hershey Foods Corporation for almost 20 years.

Dr. Weaver is the sole author of The Essentials of Financial Analysis (McGraw-Hill, 2011). He also is the co-author (with J. Fred Weston) of four books including: Strategic Financial Management: Applications of Corporate Finance (South-Western, February 2007) - along with its study guide and Finance and Accounting for Non-Financial Managers and Mergers and Acquisitions (McGraw Hill - Executive MBA Series - 2001). Both of these McGraw-Hill books have been translated for China, Russia, India, and Malaysia.
He has published in numerous leading academic and practitioner journals, provided chapters for five books, appeared in numerous textbooks discussing applications of corporate finance, and co-authored two cases published by the Darden Graduate School of Business. He serves as an associate editor for four journals and is a regular reviewer. His work has been presented at numerous professional conferences. |
