FAST™ Modelling Standard: www.fast-standard.org - a set of rules on the structure and detailed design of spreadsheet based models. (Flexible, Structured, Appropriate and Transparent).

General Flow:

  1. PART-1: Mini-caselets will be used to explain the concept of Flags, Circularity Switch, scenario building formulas and logic building Excel functions
  2. PART-2: One case study will be taken up to explain the general linkages between Assumptions, Working Schedules, Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement. This will ensure that the model is correctly integrated.A full blown Financial Model (Greenfield Hydro Power Project) will be taken up – refer Annexure
