Beating the odds

Article Abstract:

Auditors have discovered a new way to calculate probabilities to better plan cash flow forecasts, damage quantification and business valuations.

Using a valuation or discounted cash flow model where several operating assumptions were factored in, scenario-planning can project combined company performance over a range of trends and economic cycles.
