Budgeting and Forecasting in the Public Sector
3 days|Delivered on request
Budgeting and Forecasting in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including fraud detection, management accounting 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 lease accounting, budgeting and variance analysis and consolidation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve lease accounting within their own organisation, measured against IFRS
- Make a decision about budgeting and variance analysis without waiting for a specialist
