Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
As a growing company, we are interested in understanding the state of the market we are in, and our organization’s level of risk. In this project, students will assess our company’s risk by building a financial risk model to determine our best course of action. Students will perform a sensitivity analysis to help us eliminate some of the uncertainties we face and determine the reliability of risk estimates.
This may involve:
- Using mathematical and statistical tools to analyze private and public data.
- Evaluating metrics associated with the risk level of our company such as volatility, correlations for returns, forward/futures contracts, cash flows, variance, and economic states.
- Building a financial risk model including sensitivity analysis to determine the reliability of the model’s findings.
- Creating a report to present the results and recommendations from various forms of analysis to be presented to the project manager.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities (this is basically a retelling of the steps above):
- Use mathematical and statistical tools to analyze data sets.
- Evaluate metrics associated with the risk level of our company.
- Build a financial risk model with sensitivity analysis.
- Creating a report with the analysis results and recommendations.
Final deliverables should include
- A report including all results and recommendations from the data analysis.
- A 30-minute presentation.

- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:
- Are there any extra or industry-specific metrics that should be a focus during analysis?
- What types of securities do we hold?
- Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:
- Financial modeling using Excel.
- Data analysis.
- Risk, audit and compliance.
- Critical thinking.
Nice to haves for students include
- Experience with advanced data modeling softwares.
Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about this above as the project goes along.

As the founder and CEO of Unique Get Together Society (UGTS) and a woman of Cree descent, I bring 20 years’ experience working in social services. With a track record of getting things done, I’ve spent time working in group homes, women’s shelters, detox centers, foster homes and recently, I have had success working with children who live with autism.
“As a mother of six, I am no stranger to the demands of raising a family (at the best of times) and I know first-hand how difficult that can be without any support.”
My goal is to offer our services and support to any child regardless of their ability and personal care.
We provide a wide range of programs year round designed to strengthen each individual child and enhance their overall physical, mental, social emotional development. We assist families through other services such as nutritional health, family support, advocacy and subsidies
