Budgeting and Forecasting for Non-Specialists

Finance and Accounting|2 days|Classroom or live online

Budgeting and Forecasting for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through fraud detection and financial statement preparation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with management accounting, lease accounting and revenue recognition in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Put management accounting on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against IFRS for SMEs

Spot where revenue recognition is failing before it becomes a finding
