Fundamentals of Budgeting and Forecasting
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Budgeting and Forecasting is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through deferred tax and internal controls without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because boards increasingly expect finance to explain the business, not only report on it, 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, financial statement preparation and budgeting and variance analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where management accounting is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against IFRS
- Bring financial statement preparation into line with current good practice
- Explain budgeting and variance analysis to someone who does not do the work
- Put capital budgeting on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
