Advanced Budgeting and Forecasting 2017 | Marcus Evans | 4 December 2017 | Melbourne, Australia

Revamping your financial roadmap: Conquering the unpredictable elements of budgeting and transforming your financial skills to deliver greater forecast accuracy and a more resilient bottom-line.

Your planning, budgeting and forecasting process does not have to be a time consuming and low-value added task to the overall strategic framework of the organisation. It can be a great tool to deliver an integrated business planning solution that links operational and finance processes by providing executive-decision support and allocating the right resources in tracking and projecting accurate cash flow. The demands placed on high-level finance professionals are at an all-time high with greater market competition and shrinking profit margins. What is the financial leverage of your core business drivers and how do you obtain and provide the right financial data to stakeholders?

To survive and thrive in the ever-changing and global marketplace, financial managers must go beyond the traditional budgeting and forecasting concepts. The rising costs due to unplanned expenditures and the volatility of the external environment ensures that it is crucial for companies to map out specific plans for optimising the costs to be incurred within a specific time frame by monitoring their cash flow movements, fund utilisation activities and “stress-testing” their core business drivers. This dynamic and interactive training will be the perfect platform to get your company ahead of its competitors by providing an in-depth insight into the essential tools and skills needed to build world-class financial practices.
