Course Overview

Acquire the knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, and controlling to set your company up for success. Budgeting is the process of creating a plan for spending a company’s money. This spending plan is called a budget. By creating this spending plan, you can determine in advance whether your business has enough money to do what it needs to do. Budgeting is simply balancing your expenses with your income. If you can’t balance it and spend more than you earn, your company will have problems and more debt each year. When your company doesn’t have enough money to do everything it wants to do, the planning process can be used to prioritise spending and focus money on what matters most.

The participants will learn how to perform predictions in this 5-day Budgeting, Forecasting & Controlling training course. It is a technique that uses historical data as input to make informed estimates and predict the direction of future trends. Organisations use forecasts to determine how to allocate budgets and plan expected expenses for the next period. It is usually based on forecast demand for the goods and services offered. Therefore, managing budgeting and forecasting is also covered in this programme.
