Almost all the employers I talk to say something like “in our organization we live and die by EXCEL”.  Some employers give job candidates problems to model in EXCEL as part of the interview process.  Other employers give their new hires extensive instruction of how to design/construct spreadsheets that meet functional and presentation requirement.

This group discussion is intended to be an informal venue for exploring the instructional challengeswe face to prepare our students to compete successfully in the real worldof financial analysis.  I would hope that participantswill share their thoughts/questions on this and related issues.
