Financial models are central to forecasting, evaluating and analysing investments and operations, and even a good model can contain errors. In this webinar our financial modelling team works through common pitfalls, from calculation errors to assumptions that do not make commercial sense, and shows how built‑in checks improve the integrity of a model.
