Managing Budgeting and
Forecasting Processes for
the Business Unit
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is an optional module for Business Management Skills for Managers (Level 4).
Budgeting and forecasting skills are at the heart of every corporate planning cycle,
when the management team readies itself for challenges that may be obvious, or
require their combined experiences, market knowledge, organisational skills and
financial savvy to anticipate new challenges ahead.
The skills to manage the budgeting and forecasting processes are critical to
enterprises large and small. There are industry-standard best practices that
structure the planning process, that capture and use known information accurately
and tests forecasts and “best guesses” for their reliability. These processes, when
implemented, also reduce the amount of uncertainty among the planning team,
as well as focus attention on the objective of anticipating strategic change – the
“acid test” of a useful plan.
