All right let's just dive into this session. Once again you are all welcome to a financial modeling LinkedIn life series. Today are we taking us through the best tips that we guide you to ACL FMI level one certification exam. Why I know that some of us don't have basic knowledge of financial modeling based on the quick survey I just did now. I'm also going to be taking us through some brief concepts some knowledge that you need to know about Financial Moodling. But before then just a brief introduction of who we are at Dibran Consulting. At Dibran Consulting we help organizations to achieve more with our data. Then we'll do this in real time we have two arms. We have a training arm as well as a consulting arm. For our training we have a unique methodology that we use to run our training which we call the four A's. The four A's we already start with an assessment you have an awareness you have an assimilation and then we also have an application. In that application that is when we get to know how well you're making use of the skill that you have learned during our training. We also do consulting as well. We develop agile business processes and the solution for complaints. And for our trainings we have a platform where we use to carry out our training that is our learning management system which is our office training hub. You can log into the office training hub for you to have just a glimpse of how you can take a look at the courses that we have. Today what I think is that we will be looking at today very quickly. Well it's not a training right so I'm not here to train us or maybe to facilitate the session but then to make you understand our teams around Financial Moodling as well as how you can ace the exam as well. When you want to take the exam how you want to ace how are you going to ace the exam. Well Irene is the Irene I hope I got your name correctly you also said no so I'm going to try to ensure that I give you a fundamental knowledge of what Financial Moodling is all about and then with this you can as well kick stats your career in Financial Moodling. So very quickly I'll be looking at just a brief about Financial Moodling what is even Financial Moodling you know the first time I heard about Financial Moodling what came to my mind is model you know you see people that are models right and then they go for beauty pageant and all of that that was what came to my mind and then later as when I got to know more about it I was like okay to become a Financial Moodler what Financial Moodling need. Financial Moodling need to know all of this exact formula. Financial Moodling need to to be able to have deep knowledge of accounting what are the basic things that I need to know these I'll be sharing with you today and then in line with this we try to understand the component of a Financial Model as well what are those things that you need to see before you can call anything a Financial Model you know if you see a lady it is very easy for you to identify that oh this is a lady because of those structure because of those body structure because of those physique that we hope you to identify that oh this is a man and this is a woman and in line with that once you've understood what Financial Moodling is the component of a Financial Model there's also any for you to now understand the rationale behind building a model why do we even need to build a model what is the essence of building a model also knowing how to build a model is very nice but then when you are certified to be a Moodler let me say that is the necessary it is it is actually necessary for you to know it but then it is not sufficient you know economists or maybe some in accounting they will always say they have a necessary but not sufficient stuff so it is necessary for you to have knowledge but then you've been certified to become a Financial Moodler that is what is actually sufficient so today i will also be taking us through the modeling standard as well as certification and i will be sharing with us some tips that will guide you to ease the Financial Model exam for those that will still be joining us in the course of this session i will be sharing with us some tips that will help you to ease this exam that is for those who maybe they have knowledge of the Financial Modeling and they are preparing for the exam so some tips i'm going to share with us but then let's get started and look at what Financial Modeling really is when we talk of Financial Model Financial Model is actually a tool that you build in excel you know the tool that will make use of to build our model is excel people call it spreadsheet and the basic objective is for you to solve a problem you want to make decision it all revolves around you making decision so in making that decision there's a need for you to build a model you want to predict to the future you want to forecast you want to understand how your business is performing there is actually a need to build a model so a very simple definition that we like to work with here at the brand consulting is this that the financial model is a tool that is usually built with a spreadsheet when it's a spreadsheet that is the microsoft excel right where some people build it on google sheet as well yes that's right but what we use is the microsoft excel and basically is to solve a problem and that is what it's all about whichever model that you want to build then it must have an objective and this objective is towards you solving a problem and in line with this there's also a need for it to have confidence remember that i told us earlier that when you see a particular thing there is a need for you to okay there are some things that you see in something before you can call it that name now let me even ask us let me ask us when you see a car what makes you call it a car right you see just an object moving what are those things that you see before you can see oh this is a car you can just type in the charts so that will be sure that i have people that are also following as well so what are those things that you need to see before you call something a car maybe you call it motor car or you're very cool or something so what are those things that you need to see let's just type in the charts so i'm expecting the responses when you see a car what are those things that you need to see before you call something a car all right um something i hope they have access to the charts i can't see anyone or i can't hear from anyone so please just type in the charts when you hear a car what are those things that you need to see before you call something a car right i'm still expecting us i want to be sure that at least people are following as well just type in the charts what are those things that you need to see before you call something a car so when i say car that is c a r what are those things that i need to see well i'm not sure i'm getting any response i can't see any response from anyone something can you hear me just want to be sure that people can hear me loud and clear yes i can hear you all right i seem not to get response from anyone is there a way you can confirm that people have access to the charts yes they do they have access to the charts yeah right so if you can hear me loud and clear please go to the charts and tell us what are those things that you need to see before you call something a car right i can seem to have any response but then let's just continue so basically for your model you need your input is that on your input page that is where you have your assumptions what are the things that is going to drive your model you list all your variables out then you have the calculation as well that calculation is what they call the engine room because it is in the engine room that's where you're going to perform your calculation that's where you're going to build all your schedules right all those calculations that you need to bring them into your model and then it is also the calculation worksheet that will link with your input it will link it to your what i mean it fits into your output so it links to your input and then it fits to your output there's now in the output it is in the output that is where you have your financial statements and maybe you now want to perform a bit of analysis and all of that you can see that we have someone who is an aca in the house so i just want you to tell me what are the financial statements what are the type of financial statements that you know just type in the charts what are the kinds of financial statements that you know just type in the charts yes okay arin said engine okay so when is it type of financial statements i know we have about five of them according to the instance of shattered accountants of Nigeria they're about five of them but then just tell me just them you want okay most likely there's a bit of lag there maybe there's a lag in you hear me and the response as well right so when you talk of financial statements you can talk of your income statements that is also what people call the profit loss account you can talk of the balance sheet as well you can talk of the balance sheet that is what we did also know now the statement of financial position and then you can also talk of the cash flow statement as well right the cash flow statement where you see the inflow and the outflow of cash and the two others as well that from there you cannot perform your analysis now there are different reasons why people build models as i've told you that it's all revolves around you making decisions you want to make decisions about valuation you want to understand the value of a complaint you want to know if this complaint is undervalued or overvalued you want to forecast you want to predict what is going to happen in the future you want to also evaluate how your business is performing you want to see how your business is operating this business operating efficiently this business operating optimally these are those things those insights that you really want to get and then this will now guide you in forecasting in predicting what is going to happen in the future right you're going to look at your historical performance right when you're planning your model there's a need for you to look at okay this is what has happened in the past and this will now guide you in now making what assumption and predicting what is going to happen in the future and when you build the models as well you can also build a model to manage your credit risk of course businesses they're exposed to different risk right they're exposed to different risk it could be environmental risk it could be economical risk it could be even structural risk it could be technological risk or a lot of risk right that they may be exposed to now there's now a need for you to do what to manage those risks because there's some risk that you certainly they're going to come right but then there's actually a need for you to now manage those risks so you can also build a model that will guide you as to how you can manage your risk and then people also build the model to raise capital maybe there's a business that you need people to to actually invest in you want to raise capital for your business then you can actually build a model this will give a picture okay this my business it is profitable you will use that to sell your idea outright and then with that you'll be able to raise capital for your business then you want to perform financial analysis as well right going into in the future you want to see your trend what's going to be your trend in the next five years right this we actually hope you now with the knowledge of these right you've known about what financial moving is you've understood the component of the financial model and then you've also understood why people build a model now there's now a need for you to now take a step forward right with the knowledge of that there's a need for you to take a step forward now one thing is I've been knowledge of something and then another side of it is that you are satisfied to do it it's just like a two side of a coin you know you say somebody has in order to do something and then on the other side of it the person has a certificate to actually show for it that who i'm certified to do this thing financial modeling is a discipline on its own as well right it is a profession on its own and then it's also have modeling standard and certification and this certification is in three phases you have the level one which is the AFM the called it advanced financial model then you also have the level two as well which is the CFM according to the shattered financial model and then level three as well which is the master financial model today i'll be speaking about the first level which is the AFM where it is called the FMI level one exam that is the AFM but then i'm just going to give us a brief as to the order to levels as well however all these three levels they are independent of one another what i'm what i mean is that when you are certified to become a financial when you've written the AFM of course you are an advanced financial model you're certified to be what a model now when you now proceed to not write the CFM then you are now certified to become a shattered financial model and then the third one which is the master financial model then when you now write it and you're certified to become a master financial model the AFM focuses on the fundamental skills that you actually require to design and build a fully integrated model so they are going to give you a case study where you need to build a model for scratch rights and with that you'll be able to test your knowledge of you building a fully integrated financial forecast model then the second one is the CFM which i say there's a shattered financial model it will take you through a deep and broad knowledge of the advanced corporate finance take of project economics take of valuation take of up to structure you're looking at budget and acquisition as well as some detailed manipulation topics as well and the third level which is the mfm this one it's actually test your mastery right do you have a mastery of some advanced topic and specialization right where you want to build some specialization even maybe read a stage in talk of film digital technology talk of supply chain talk of private equity earth scale industrial market and the likes of that and this exam when the market the market base on the final fast standard they have this fast standard you know you see there is this thing that where there is no is it where there is no law there is no sin or is it where there is no there is no sin either way you want to see it right but then you know there are some actually laws that actually govern the way we live even in the country you have your constitutions that you need to live by and whatever even in our corporate organizations right we are the maybe your 10 principles that you talk about you have your code of conduct some people call it ethics right that um you actually need to follow so also it when you build a financial model as well your financial model must be built in line with the fast standard right it was built it in the line of fast standard the lawyers you know they have their constitutions that they make use of and then accounted as well they have the IFR that is international financial reporting standard they actually guide them when they are presenting and then they are reporting their financial statement so also financial modeling they have what they call the fast standard and this fast standard fast is not an English word it's actually an acronym which implies that f stands for something a stands for something s stands for something and t also stands for something and when you say that f s f there is that your model must be flexible whatever model that you build you need to build a model that is adaptable for both immediate and the longer term use that this boosts your effort wants to make use of your model the person must be able to run different scenarios the person wants to see different things that has happened you might even be presenting to your management and then your management will say okay okay based on what you presented you've said that our revenue is going to grow by three percent in this particular period that they now want to see what if the revenue grew by five percent and then you don't want to be okay now be changing changing and changing so there's a need for you to build different scenarios and then you also want to build sensitivity in your model as well so if your model is flexible it will allow you to make all of this modification also your model should be appropriate models they are representation of reality you should not over build your model when you have some spurious perceptions or assumptions of your model that could be distracting it could actually be misleading so once you have model that you build ensure that that model is appropriate also ensure that your model is well structured your model needs to be able to maintain or retain its integrity over time whenever you build your model ensure that you have a consistent layout right across your worksheet or across the workbook ensure that you have a consistent layout also your model must be transparent models are not there you don't build model to test your excel skills right so that's not the reason why you build model you see some people when they build model they bring in gigantic formulas they will say if these if inside these are part of that and by the time they want to audit that model even themself they will have forgotten those cheats or maybe those cells that they've connected together or they've linked to right to get those formulas some of them it will even be difficult for them to audit that formula according to the first standard they said what remember a formula that you going to input your model should be so that you'll be able to explain on that 24 seconds and this was at count of 24 seconds you must be able to do or give an explanation to whatsoever formula that you have in your model so whatever model that you build make sure that your model is simple make sure that you have a very clear formula in your model and make sure that it's a model that is easy to audit as well don't have a model that is too long now what are the tips you know I told us earlier that you have knowledge of these there's also a need for you to do what to be certified to do so that you can easily go out there and see that you are certified you have approved that you are a financial model now what are those tips that can help you to ace this level one exam and then when I say level one exam that is the AFM exam what are those things that will help you or will guide you to actually pass this exam now in passing this exam when people when you ask people that oh what are those tips what are those things that they need people will tell you that number one is time that oh it's because I spend longer time building the model that's the reason why I've not been able to excellently get myself to to be prepared for this example maybe that's why the field exam and all of that well maybe or maybe not of course it's something that people will tell you even a motivational speaker can easily tell you that oh your time you need to work on your time and all of that but then there is more to you actually be caring for this exam also people talk of keyboard shortcut as well keyboard shortcut is also nice and is what people say and then even yourself you know that of course when you make yourself a keyboard shortcut that is that we actually save you some time right to do some certain things also people will talk of you having a quiet place a serene place where you can take the exams that there won't be any form of expression I know of a friend when he wanted to write this exam he had to book and will tell to to actually take the exam you understand that was what he did because he needed a quiet place he needed a place that he won't be distracted and then we'll be able to concentrate fully and then people also tell you that practice practice and practice of course why is good for you to practice the question that we need to need to ask ourselves is how do you need to practice when you are practicing how do you need to practice and in practicing the first tip that I will be sharing with you is I need to have a working knowledge of the financial modeling body of knowledge I said working knowledge of the financial modeling body of knowledge and this is what I have added is what it looks like right so you have been in knowledge of the AFM body of knowledge we actually appeal to is the exam and it's just subdivided into I think about five categories I'm just going to run us through it very shortly and the first one is the financial modeling best practices right I told us earlier that the financial that financial modeling is actually a discipline on its own it's a profession on its own and then you need to also have a knowledge of the model attribute as well this model attribute you can see it as a subset of the first one that I've discussed with us and this attribute they are just subdivided into six just six of them and then the first one is that your model should be dynamic and the way you say your model is dynamic which is under the flexible you can see it under the flexible that is that you must be able to make changes to your assumption properly right those assumptions that flows into your model and that is why you call it a model because you can easily make what changes to those your assumptions you want to to to see different scenarios that can actually interplay in your model and the second one is that it's more flexible right you you know you want to make your model so that it is easy for you to expand you want to make a modification both in the short term as well as in the longer term as well also your model will be sweet right and then you know I told us about your model being appropriate your time you see your model shouldn't be clustered with unnecessary details people want to actually flow with your model your model should flow out people or should actually be something that people will be able to think through your model and they'll be able to use it to do their business they'll be able to use it to to what to achieve those decisions that they want to actually make right or to want to actually achieve and also it must be transparent if you don't have some eating formulas there and also your model must be printable certain model to be printable in here development consulting you have a course that we take here that we actually deliver and we're going to teach you all of these I'm still going to be sharing some of them with you but then just for you to know this now your model should be printable make it to be printable but you you set it to be very very printable and then also it must be transferable as well you know when you build your model your model you should be so that you can easily transfer to another person and then it is usable by different people you see before now the way people build model is that after building their model you just copy and paste right just copy and paste and then it is not easy for for people to actually see what you've done right and then some they will do it somewhere right so so your model should be so that you can easily transfer it to some other people and then they will be able to use it now second tip you know number one tip that I told us is that you have a working knowledge of film you should have a working knowledge of the AFM body of knowledge and then secondly you need to take some preparatory course as well you need to actually take a preparatory course because the more you study for these and then you practice for these the more you have a understanding of all you need to actually use this example and yeah different consulting we have this our definitive guide this is a definitive prep guide we prepare you and then you also have a lot of resources as well that we help you to is this exam let me show you one of the resources that we have and then we actually help you when you're writing this your exam so I'm just going to bring that up now and then I'm going to show you how you can make use of it as well that is what we call the mudla exam planner the mudla exam planner is going to help you right whenever you are preparing for the for the exam you see some people they will have come to meet you know me they come to meet me how long do they need to prepare for this exam how many hours do they need to prepare for the exam I mean the truth is that I can't categorically tell you that okay it is two hours I need to prepare for the exam it's three hours I need to prepare for the exam or maybe four hours as long or as much as you can actually prepare please keep preparing you know back then when I was in in the university there was this particular call that I did I read for about 12 hours for it's just a single course I read for about 12 hours for me to actually use this so also when you're also preparing for the exam you need some courses that will guide you so this is our our definitive guide it's actually a very good course that you can take to to to actually prepare for the exam in this course we took the case study and we run you through how you are going to build your model from start to finish we run you through the case study I'm still going to show us an example of a case study that we we we use in our last exam I'm going to show us that very shortly but then let's take a look at this the first one is the AFM Moodler exam planner and the exam planner is actually very very good and very useful for you to do all you need to do you just come here enter your name and what day did you start preparing for the exam you enter it here and when is the exam date you also put out there as well and then you can call this out the interactive checklist the scoring tools as well as well as the interactive eight-week study planner on the checklist when you look at the checklist it's going to give you an overview of all those things that you need that body of knowledge that body of knowledge that you actually need to have knowledge of right that told us earlier that body of knowledge that that you need to that said if you have a working knowledge of the body of knowledge so here we've listed everything out all you need to do is that okay is my am I good with my model with the with the with the with the model officials right am I am I good at this point so if you are good with this all you need to do is just to come here and then click on this button and then select right so if you select zero then is that oh maybe below and you can come here you select one that is that you are near it right and then when you select two then is that oh also you've passed it right and then also you can have is your model flexible in 3d transparent that is called the cost earlier and then transferable when you take our AFM mock exam and then you should take the financial the derivative card as well we're going to share this with you for free but for the AFM exam it's actually free of charge you can always come for it and then we share this with you and then you go to the next one as well your model presentation the model presentation as well so you can always think this as well how you decide and then also present your model and then you also need air that food that food as well you see when you when you when you are deciding your model to be to be in the printable form right you want to include some elders and then then some food tasks in your food tasks maybe you want to include your sheet staff there you want to include that okay the pages there you want to include your pages and yes those things that you just want to include in your in your food tasks so all of those things you also going to see there and then use this to grade yourself right use this to grade yourself so this is actually a very good tool that will help you to plan for the exam also you then go to the next one look at the style and the formatting all right are you now good with your style and the formatting of your model you also proceed to look at that is your model or the model that you built is this something that is now printable so you it's something that oh you are good with this okay get yourself how many minutes does spend doing this how many minutes does spend doing that and all of that just get yourself okay maybe just near and then if you are now good with this 100% just put pass wow very good nice fine and neat you're done with that also you need to work with scenario you see the financial model as well when you when you build it you know you need a tap structure and those are the things that they actually look at they want to see your cover page they want to see your executive summary as well right they want to see those are your assumption the scenarios as well as your models as well and in the scenario and you know i've talked about the scenario and they are on maybe you're looking at the base case you're looking at the best case and then maybe the worst case as well right so one of these i think we're going to share with you when i talk about the tap structure you're looking at the cover and you can have the executive summary those things are way up to summarize the key metrics and you don't necessarily need to over build these as well maybe what you just have there that could be maybe your crush profits margin you want to see your revenue growth as well and maybe you want to also include maybe you want to include your evident margin as well right just just simple things right just include them there as well your assumptions all of those things right these are the things that we're going to share with you when you take the cost and then secondly or maybe the tunnel that i will share with us now is that you need to also take a mock exam you're taking a mock exam we give you a guarantee or an assurance that you are fully ready or prepared to take the exam you get so so you practice and then you're taking a mock exam and you will actually give you a guarantee that you are fully set for this exam remember that i told us earlier that when you say you need like 10 hours to be paid or 20 hours to be paid it's ready to you see some people it won't even take them maybe 10 hours and they are good why not some people if you take them more time to actually be paid for the exam so if you're preparing for the exam a mock exam is a much you can actually take and here at the brand consulting we'll be hosting a mock exam on the 16th of July 2022 it's between three to to 6 30 of course we know that this exam the afn exam itself the left one exam is for four hours but here at the brand consulting in a mock exam we just give you three hours 30 minutes right three hours 30 minutes to view the exam and then what i tell people is that well we tell people here at the brand consulting that practice practice practice to the extent that you can even view the model under two hours with that you have confident in yourself that okay come watch me whatever happened you are fully set and ready for this exam so you need to to to actually test yourself fully and then be ready for the exam so you can join our mock exam my colleague is going to share the link in the chat now that you can use to read is that for the exam also one of the thing that you also need to do is for you to do a kind of self assessment there's a need for you to keep assessing yourself assess yourself three kind of self assessment and how do you assess yourself you also have assessment rubrics as well you you can make it so please try to assess yourself look at the the scoring what is different category right the overall impression the presentation the tap structure the financial statement are you good to go there the model schedules are you good to go there the model construction are you good to go there as well we also have the study plan as well right you study plan that you can easily use to set it okay maybe today this is what you're going to be studying this other day this is what you're going to be doing i mean this you want to use to be here for the exam as well to give each week's plan right so you can actually get all of that these are some of the materials i will be sharing with you when you register for the mock exam and it's absolutely for free a mock exam however if you want to really take a step by step guide as to how you need to be prepared for the exam then you need to take our definitive guide that's the definitive guide is what will actually help you to prepare for the exam and then we'll take you through step by step on how you need to be prepared for the exam let me just show you a sample case study of our last exam okay so let me just minimize this and show you something all right so let me show you this right so if you are following just type your s in the charts and i will show that half people are following me as well so it's connecting talking so if you're following just like yes yes that you are following just type yes in the chart if you are following just type yes in the chart if you're following okay all right just so people are following me right so this is sample of the exam that we do and then we set here different consulting so this is our last mock exam that we did this is the question this is the last question and if you register for that our definitive guide you will have access to all our past mock the previous mock that we've done as well as this solution as well you have access to all of that but then the mock exam is for free you can register for weeks and then my colleague has also okay wow so they have 40 percent of the step-by-step guide are super so just the advantage of that to register to take the step-by-step course that will help you in doing the exam so this is sample case you see we will giving you all the assumptions that you need to actually use so this is it for then we give participants just three hours 30 minutes you know to the area they just give them three hours 30 minutes then it is just similar it is a prototype of the actual exam that you're course we're going to write and then we have two options when you're writing this exam it's either you take it as a prototype exam when it's a product exam that means that you need to share your camera and you join our live zoom class right where you're going to take the exam and then we need to monitor you through the process of writing the exam also because of time differences as well we give opportunity for those who want to take the self-paced option however if you're taking the self-paced option don't do it for eight hours make sure that you time yourself for just three hours 30 minutes try to do it within three hours 30 minutes and when you're done submit upload it when you upload your exam i mean your your is it your trial now we're going to send you the solution to the uh to the mock and then you can always join our review session as well where you're going to take it through everything that is expected to be done so all
