The syllabus is designed for professionals working in finance, corporate strategy, or planning functions who want to advance their capabilities in multi-scenario forecasting, financial modeling, and long-range planning.

What is the difference between financial modeling and financial forecasting, and why are both needed?

Financial forecasting involves estimating future performance using historical results, economic indicators, and scenario assumptions to address what might happen. Financial modeling provides the mathematical framework, usually built in spreadsheets, to link operating assumptions, calculate financial statements, and quantify the balance sheet and cash impact. Forecasting establishes the strategic outlook, while modeling provides the analytical engine to evaluate decisions.
