Overview of the webinar

Financial analysis is an area of opportunity and risk. Analysis should incorporate tests of sensitivity to changes in key variables using the most advanced tools available. Typical financial models do not effectively utilize these tools. This exposes the analyst to blind spots in their analysis.   Analysts will want to obtain and become proficient in the use of the more sophisticated “what if” analysis tools of the trade.
