Budgeting and Forecasting for Small and Medium Enterprises
3 days|Delivered on request
Budgeting and Forecasting for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including impairment testing, audit readiness and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because boards increasingly expect finance to explain the business, not only report on it, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with budgeting and variance analysis, fraud detection and deferred tax in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain budgeting and variance analysis to someone who does not do the work, measured against GRAP for public entities
- Put fraud detection on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
