Financial Modelling Services

Financial models are tools, developed to support businesses in their decision-making process. They can provide insightful information regarding the financial impact of strategic decisions and support business plans or investment decisions.

Service Description

Financial models are tools, developed to support businesses in their decision-making process. They can provide insightful information regarding the financial impact of strategic decisions and support business plans or investment decisions. FCNC can add value to your project, by maximizing the impact of your customized Financial Model (“FM”) as a decision-making tool, while incorporating all necessary aspects from an accounting and tax perspective. All Financial Models developed by FCNC are structured in line with FAST Standards and methodology, under Microsoft Excel format.

 

Assumptions review

The key business, commercial and financial drivers, as well as key model inputs and assumptions (macroeconomic, industry – specific and firm – specific) are analyzed and reviewed in terms of reasonableness. FCNC also comments on whether the financial projections have incorporated other factors, which are considered of substance such as: commitments to other parties, other capital expenditure (capex) requirements, interest expenses or repayment commitments to creditors.

 

Model Development

FCNC works closely with its clients to develop a FM suitable for their needs. The FM is structured using Excel functions in a logical flow that provides transparency in understanding the financial mechanics of the project. A flexible structure is built, including a comprehensive sensitivity analysis module, which permits quick analysis of the impact of different inputs and scenarios. Upon completion, the client is provided with supporting documentation (manual/data assumptions book) and assistance in training staff to operate the model.

Independent Model Audit

FCNC reviews and provides an independent opinion on the soundness of a FM prepared by a third party. We assess the quality of the model, including the integrity of its logic and calculations, review its correctness and consistency considering the supporting documentation, and review whether the calculations and assumptions are in accordance with the current tax and accounting standards and regulations. In further detail:


Model Review

  • Review of the logic integrity, internal consistency and arithmetic accuracy, in all material respects of the formulae, algorithms and calculations contained within/in the Financial Model
  • Confirm that the Financial Model materially achieves its objective of generating profit and loss, cash flow and balance sheet projections and key financial ratios for the project, based on the set of operational, financial and economic assumptions set out in the base case scenario (the “Base Case”)
  • Confirm that the accounting assumptions within the Model comply with the existing Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS, Greek/US GAAP)
  • Review of the Model in order to assess whether it is sufficiently robust to run agreed sensitivity analysis and produce output consistent with the changes made to initial assumptions
  • Initial Model Audit Findings (“MAF”) report, which provides guidance on what amendments should be made by the Client / model author in order for the Cash Flow Forecasting Model to reflect the relative project documentation (including the financial documents).


Model Finalization

  • Review of the modified Financial Model based on the preliminary MAF reports
  • Ensure cover ratios and other key financing indicators are calculated in accordance with the provisions of the data book manual (the “Data Book”) or any other available document
  • Ensure that the Model is consistent with the relevant financial and contractual provisions in the project documentation (including the financial documents)
  • Αnalytical review of Model outputs to identify any unexplained trends or variations in key financial and banking indices
  • Final Model Audit Findings report
  • Issuance of opinion letter (the “Opinion Letter”)
