Using Financial Modeling to Assess Risks Before They Happen

Financial modelling helps credit professionals make predictions on how a company’s financial statements could change under forecast assumptions. Likewise, forecasting is an essential tool to assess the risk of a firm.

Together these tools become even more imperative to use when evaluating a company's credit risk using data collected prior to sudden and significant shifts in country, macro-economic or industry risks such as the impact of Covid-19.

Join Antje Seiffert-Murphy, CFA, of Nexus Specialty Inc. as she works through a forecasting example with varying assumptions and addresses alternative ways to research and understand risk. Antje will also discuss potential questions that a vendor might raise to understand a buyer’s risk better.
