Course Overview

This five days training workshop is designed for all finance and non-finance professionals seeking to understand the techniques required to assess the value of investments and companies, as well as advise clients regarding the desirability of projects and investments.
We start with a comprehensive introduction to valuation techniques for use in various circumstances. These techniques can be used to value companies for acquisition or disposal purposes, or value other asset acquisitions such as real estate, and they are also useful for pricing financial instruments and assist in assessing the financial feasibility of projects.
We will also review financial modelling techniques for valuation, and we will be using Excel valuation models that are used in the industry.
