If you are new to the budgeting and forecasting process, this practical course will cover issues such as using budgets to measure staff performance, linking budgets to the strategic planning process and a comparison of budgeting techniques. We will explore the difference between budgets and forecasts, and you will learn how to create your own budget, rolling forecast, variance report and budget scenarios in Excel.
This course is delivered in two parts; the first day covers the theory of budgeting and forecasting within organisations. Issues such as budgeting to organisational objectives, level of granularity and selecting the correct budgeting tool will be discussed. Students are encouraged to share their own experiences with the class. On the second day, students will build their own budget and forecasting model to bring a practical application to the skills they have learned. The model will include a budget, rolling forecast, variance report as well as scenarios and sensitivity testing.
