LEARNING OBJECTIVES

WHO WILL BENEFIT THE MOST

CEOs, CFOs, VPs, MDs, GMs, Chief Accountants, Cost Controllers, Directors, Managers and Analysts, involved in:• Financial Planning / Finance Business Partners / Capital Planning• Management Accounting• Product Control• Planning & Budgeting• Costing • Forecasting & Financial Analysis• Auditing & Internal Control• Risk & Compliance • Statutory & Regulatory Reporting / Policy Planning• Business Planning / Strategic Planning / Business Development• Operations• Portfolio Managementand anyone with vested interests in forecasting trends at the strategic, tactical, operational and planning levels

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

Deloitt e’s research (2014) into planning, budgeting and forecasting found that 37% of respondents admitt ed to a failure in aligning their planning, budgeting and forecasting effectively with corporate strategy. In these circumstances, there is a risk that the activities of the organization will be misdirected as well as lack focus, alignment and cohesion because expectations have not been properly set. For organizations operating in a world of continuous change, annual budgetsneed to be upgraded to include responsive, flexible continuous forecasting. Rolling forecasts offer greater visibility intofuture operating performance. Unlike budgets, they reflect the fact that operations don’t switch off at year-end.

This two-day Strategic Financial Planning: Financial Analysis, Forecasting and Budgeting executive program aims to provide you with the analytical skills to build on world-class practices into your company’s budgeting and forecastingsystems, and describes how to integrate business strategy, budgeting and forecasting into a single process. Movingaway from the limitations oft en associated with traditional static budgeting, this program will have a special focus on the growing trend to “Rolling” budgets and forecasts. You will get to learn firsthand about the “Beyond Budgeting”concept from a member of the Beyond Budgeting Round Table (BBRT) UK.

The Faculty Director, Alan Fell, brings a highly pragmatic, no-nonsense and robustly disciplined approach to the subject.The overall approach is that of higher-level strategic financial management perspective and specifically designed for those at management and supervisory level. Throughout the program, there will be reference to many case studyexamples, including those from Alan’s 40+ years of financial and business experiences that have helped improve thebott om-line for many of his clients.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

According to Deloitt e’s research (2014), collecting, aggregating and analyzing data via the ubiquitous spreadsheet remains challenging for most businesses, making their process of dynamic forecasting and planning slow, opaque and prone to error. Where purpose-built soft ware is employed, its modeling and analytical capabilities are oft en not properly exploited. Although Excel spreadsheets are highly useful for designing financial models, many users are not aware of, or do not maximize the features built into the Excel package. This leads to costly, undetected errors in worksheets which may result in poorly made business decisions based on flawed financial models, oft en detrimentalto future business performance.

Aimed at all finance professionals involved in the analysis and preparation of budgeting and forecasting, this executive program will equip you with the practical experience and cutt ing-edge design ideas to create powerful and accurate forecasting models in Excel to bett er analyze data, build bett er budgeting model, predict revenues, control costs, manage risks - and justify critical business decisions. Using Excel, you will learn how to assess your business performance and bett er forecast your budget by using a plethora of financial ratios to analyze your key financial statements. Discover the issues you need to consider when conducting budgeting and forecasting activities as well as the pitfalls involved when extrapolating your future performance. You will also learn how to perform strategic financial planning more effectively using simulations, sensitivity and scenario analysis in Excel. Moreover, you will pick up practical, quantitative tools to create robust budgeting models that accommodate for risks and variances. By the end of this course, you will be able to use and incorporate important analytical models (i.e. spreadsheet modeling, optimization and simulation) to improve your business and financial decision-making.

Catering to all levels of financial modeling analysis knowledge as well as Excel proficiency, this course will enableyou to build a powerful and concise financial model through a step-by-step approach integrating a blend of real-lifecase studies, practical examples and advanced Excel tools. Aside from the program booklet, you will also receivenumerous practical Excel example files which you can refer to and practise at your workplace.
