Budgeting and Forecasting for Managers

Finance and Accounting|3 days|Classroom or live online

This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers working capital management and lease accounting from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because audit findings are now a reputational matter as much as a technical one, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with financial modelling, audit readiness and cash flow forecasting in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Spot where financial modelling is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against GRAP for public entities
Put audit readiness on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Make a decision about cash flow forecasting without waiting for a specialist
Bring financial statement preparation into line with current good practice
