Course Description

Course Description

This E-book is a companion piece to a live learning event that has been presented numerous times to financial and accounting professionals across a wide variety of industries and sizes. The information within is based on real-life experiences gathered over 20 years of helping organizations successfully implement financial, business intelligence and planning/budgeting solutions.

In this E-book, you will be able to learn budgeting and forecasting from scratch. Learn the reasons why it is important to prepare a budget. There are various elements to be considered like “People, Data and Process” in preparation of a budget. These 3 elements will help you build an accurate budget. It happens very frequently that your budget is way too complicated that it becomes very difficult for end users to understand its terminology and items mentioned therein. Now that users have inputted their numbers, somehow you have to bring everything back into one single comprehensive budget. Simple copy paste function will not be of use but interlinking of workbooks will.

Before sending a budget for an approval, make sure you double check the figures you have incorporated. There may be some surprises in the review which means you are lacking some information. This E-book has presented a lot of ideas, and therefore the recommendation is to pick and choose the ones that will have the greatest return on investment for your organization.

  • To learn the reason for preparing a budget
