Building a Financial Model - Creating a Log

Building a Financial Model – Creating a Log

When building a financial model, a log sheet helps a good financial analyst and other users track and understand all changes that have been made to the financial model.

This is especially helpful if the financial model is to be handed over to another financial modeling team to take over the development or make updates to the financial model.

Look at the illustration for an example of a financial model log sheet.
