Financial modeling applies statistical analysis to the mathematical construct of financial accounting and reporting to develop a mathematical model to solve a specific prospective financial or accounting problem. The objective may include financial forecasting for merger/acquisition, strategic growth/expansion, asset or division divestiture, business valuation, or litigation. It requires a functional understanding of the mathematical relationships intrinsic to financial accounting, financial analysis, and applied statistics.
The purpose of financial modeling is to improve decision making, and the purpose of financial forecasting is to solve a specific prospective financial/accounting problem. Applied statistics assists in “making wise decisions in the face of uncertainty.” Forecasting is 80 percent science and 20 percent judgment, therefore the science must be properly applied.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Identify the three fundamental forecast models
- Identify the frequency distributions of data which conform to Benford's Law
- Recognize and construct a scatterplot graph of ordered pairs of data
- Determine and evaluate the probabilities of the financial model outcomes and identify the optimum and obtainable outcomes
- Identify statistical fallacies common to legacy approaches, methods, and data analysis
