Abstract

Abstract : Simulation is an extremely useful decision‐making tool for accountants. While many companies have invested heavily in developing sophisticated software to help them run simulations, simulations can also be run on tools such as Excel. In this article, I will use a simple example to demonstrate how an accountant could use Excel to run simulations. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc . © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
