This modelling course equips participants for analysing and valuing complicated transactions such as mergers, acquisitions or LBOs (leveraged buyouts).

Subjects covered on our merger course include acquisition processes, accounting treatments and analysis, key risks together with deal structure and financing.

This course is designed for people who, in a short space of time, want to explore how a model can be used to analyse particular commercial challenges. How could we use a model to, for example, model a new deal, value an acquisition target, or analyse an acquisition or a buy out? What are the similarities, differences and uses of the various approaches?

This course covers a lot of broad ground and always sparks lots of interesting discussion. The course is probably best suited to someone who has some experience of modelling but, in a focussed way, wants to explore how a model can be used for different purposes.

The course combines some of the best bits from our most popular programs - and covers merger, valuation and LBO modelling in one program.

This course is run in an interactive, participative format, where participants learn by doing. The key concepts covered in the main teaching sessions are punctuated and illustrated by detailed case and modelling work.
