The Investment Studies Center (ISC) at Union of Investment Companies (UIC) in collaboration with Wall Street Prep held a training program titled “Financial & Valuation Modeling Boot Camp" during the period (Sunday - Wednesday) 09th – 12th December 2018, from 08:30AM to 04:00PM, at Courtyard Marriott Kuwait. Mr. Brad Barlow, a former UBS investment banker, delivered the course to the delegates from UIC member companies and other entities, even from out of Kuwait.
In this regard, Ms. Fadwa Darwish, ISC Acting Director & Director of Technical Support at UIC reported that due to the importance of this technical program, it attracted 25 participants from Kuwait and other countries.
The topics covered in the seminars included the best practices of constructing financial models and forecasting financial statements, the methodologies used to estimate enterprise and equity value, and the modeling and valuation considerations of mergers and acquisitions. Participants learned by using real-world case studies and building practical models in Excel. They'll now apply modeling best practices when returning to their desks this week. They'll also continue to stay faster and more efficient than their peers because they received lifetime access to Wall Street Prep's video-based online modeling courses.
At the end of the program, the participants received their certificates, who were from: Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP), Kuwait Pillars for Financial Investment (KUWAIT PILLARS), Arzan Financial Group for Financing & Investment (ARZAN), Al-Imtiaz Investment Company (A.I.I.C), Dimah Capital Investment Company (DIMAH), Global Investment House (GLOBAL), Al-Watani Investment Company (NBK Capital), adding to the participations from outside Kuwait.
