Fundamentals of Budgeting and Forecasting

Finance and Accounting|2 days|Classroom or live online

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
