Restructuring Modeling

Wall Street Prep
Updated Feb 28, 2019

Course Overview

This course is designed to teach restructuring and bankruptcy modeling to students and professionals pursuing careers in restructuring, bankruptcy and distress. Using the Borders bankruptcy as our primary case study, we begin with an overview of the restructuring and bankruptcy framework. Then we will learn to build an advanced bankruptcy model from scratch, incorporating bankruptcy specific elements like DIP financing, the creation of liabilities subject to compromise, working capital drivers, cancellation of debt income, and Fresh Start accounting.  We conclude the course with valuation analysis and a recovery analysis, where we will layer various valuation scenarios onto the model to analyze possible recoveries to the various creditors.
