Advanced Budgeting and Forecasting
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into budgeting and variance analysis, audit readiness and the judgement calls that sit outside the Companies Act. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong. Delegates leave able to work confidently with fraud detection, consolidation and revenue recognition in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put fraud detection on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the Companies Act
- Explain consolidation to someone who does not do the work
- Bring revenue recognition into line with current good practice
- Spot where cash flow forecasting is failing before it becomes a finding
