Course Overview

Eager to progress in your financial forecasting and control career? Explore our Controllership Series for a prime chance to acquire indispensable skills and insights, propelling you towards excellence in the dynamic realm of corporate finance.

Amidst new accounting standards, shifts in the economic landscape, and ongoing technological advancements, the realms of accounting, financial reporting, and finance are becoming increasingly intricate. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has undertaken efforts to simplify Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in response to this rising complexity. 

However, the struggle to keep pace with evolving financial requirements persists for various reasons, including a shortage of in-house subject matter experts, the management of substantial transaction volumes and data, and the dynamic nature of information technology systems—all compounded by the challenges of navigating and applying accounting standards. Looking ahead, executives must anticipate and address the forthcoming challenges characterized by their unique nuances and complexities. Among these challenges, budgeting stands out as a crucial process that demands continual evaluation and re-evaluation for enhanced efficiency.

This CPE Accounting Webinar delves into the corporate budgeting process and discusses methods used and which methods may or may not allow for organizations to properly plan for a volatile future

Major Topics Covered:

  • Examine top challenges/opportunities
    • Evaluating budget uncertainty
  • Examine the types of budgeting processes
    • Incremental
    • Activity-based
    • Value proposition
    • Zero-based
