Session 2

Three Statement Modelling

Through the process of building a more complex three statement model, the participants are taught how to model operating cash and calculate interest using average debt and average cash balances. We will address in detail how to work with intentional circular references. The issue of non-intentional circular references is covered and the participant is taught modelling rules that are designed to help avoid them. The session is designed to expose the participant to different three statement modelling styles: multi-sheet, tower, and different income statement layouts. Exposure to a mix of modelling styles will help prepare them to work on in-house models or models inherited from other finance professionals.

  • Modelling operating cash, excess cash and the revolver
  • Calculating interest on cash and debt balances
  • Working with intentional circular references
  • Avoiding non-intentional circular references

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
