World-class Financial Planning And Control

Gone are the days when financial planning meant producing budgets that shaved 5% from each cost line and added 10% to each revenue line. Gone too are the days when financial control meant reporting a sea of negative variances against cost codes that bore little relation to the real world of the organisation.

But are you sure that what you have got now matches the best that is available?

This course presents best-practice techniques so can assess whether what you do is truly the best on offer.

Programme includes:

- Developing financial plans from the strategy

- Designing the budget to make sure it reflects the strategy and is a fit-for-purpose tool

- What are the key things you should be measuring and controlling?

- The value of activity-based techniques where people costs dominate

- Using lean six sigma techniques in accounting
