Course Overview

Unveiling the Future of Financial Planning: From Historical Reporting to Predictive Costing

Step into the future of financial planning with our dynamic presentation, where we navigate the transformation from traditional historical reporting to cutting-edge predictive costing strategies. We'll dive into the realm of capacity-sensitive driver-based rolling financial forecasts, delve into the power of what-if analysis, explore the intricacies of marginal cost assessment (including pricing strategies), and unveil the art of target costing for innovative products and services.

Gone are the days when the annual budgeting process was merely a ritualistic exercise. In today's fast-paced business landscape, it's imperative to stay ahead of the curve. The traditional budgeting approach is increasingly criticized for its rapid obsolescence, susceptibility to gamesmanship, and disconnection from strategic imperatives. But fear not, for we're here to address these deficiencies head-on.

Discover how to break free from the shackles of conventional budgeting. We'll empower you to harness the potential of driver-based expense projections that not only illuminate your financial landscape but also serve as a valuable tool for insightful decision-making.

Bid farewell to the days of budgetary constraints and disconnected strategies. Join us as we chart a course toward a future where financial planning aligns seamlessly with organizational goals. We'll demystify the complexities of budgeting, bridge the gap between accountants and executives, and equip you with strategies to overcome challenges that have long plagued the budgeting process.

Key Topics covered in this course:

  • What is broken with budgeting?
  • The shift to rolling financial forecasts
