  • Identify four ways of reporting out of a financial system.
  • Review when and how to cleanse data while extracting data. 
  • Recognize the pros and cons of extracting tables or data from a financial system. 
  • Master 4 best practices for building an “update” model based on the financial system.

Course Overview

Imagine dedicating countless hours to refreshing Excel models with each shift in the economic landscape—such a task wastes precious time and heightens the likelihood of errors creeping in.

This CPE Course unfolds across four engaging segments to transform your data management approach. We’ll start with a business case highlighting the inefficiencies of an outdated model, which takes over three hours to update financial reports. Next, we’ll demonstrate how to overhaul this model, reducing system updating time from two hours to just one minute and cutting presentation updates from one hour to two minutes. We’ll also explore four methods for reporting from a financial system, focusing on extracting “reports” and “data.” Finally, we’ll outline six essential dos and don’ts for building effective updating models, ensuring your processes are streamlined and efficient.

Key topics covered:

  • Data extraction methods
  • Automating model updates
  • Presentation model practices
  • Reducing manual input

Whether you’re dealing with complex financial data or want to improve your Excel skills, this CPE Course will offer actionable insights for dramatically cutting update times without compromising accuracy or detail.
