Financial Statement Spreading Programs
This entry was posted on 10/17/2006 2:13 PM and is filed under spreading.
I am interested in learning what programs lenders and analysts are using these days to spread financial statements. Which one are you using? Do you like it? Would you like to provide a review, or would you read reviews by others?
Here are a few examples of programs from my memory and from a brief Google search:

We use Moody's for basic analytical work. It's based on the Crowe-Chizek FAMAS program from the early 1980s, and provides a wealth of flexibility for analyzing a broad variety of business types. Specialized industry modules allow analysts to tailor the program to better match the operating parameters and relevant performance measures of specific industries, such as contractors, real estate developers, auto dealers and public utilities. Forecasting capabilities permit long- and short-term projection building, budgeting capabilities and portfolio stress-testing. Reply to this

Buker's FSA (Financial Statement Analysis) does a great job and is extremely reasonable in price. I highly recommend it.
Both programs can also perform global cash flows. Reply to this
