    PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

    Deloites research (2014) into planning, budgeting and forecasting found that 37% of respondents admited to a failurein aligning their planning, budgeting and forecasting effectively with corporate strategy. In these circumstances, there

    is a risk that the activities o the organization will be misdirected as well as lack ocus, alignment and cohesion because

    expectations have not been properly set. For organizations operating in a world o continuous change, annual budgets

    need to be upgraded to include responsive, flexible continuous forecasting. Rolling forecasts offer greater visibility into

    future operating performance. Unlike budgets, they reflect the fact that operations dont switch offat year-end.

    This two-day Strategic Financial Planning: Financial Analysis, Forecasting and Budgetingexecutive program aims to

    provide you with the analytical skills to build on world-class practices into your companys budgeting and forecasting

    systems, and describes how to integrate business strategy, budgeting and orecasting into a single process. Moving away

    rom the limitations o en associated with traditional static budgeting, this program will have a special ocus 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 o higher-level strategic nancial management perspective and speci cally designed or

    those at management and supervisory level. Throughout the program, there will be re erence to many case study

    examples, including those rom Alans 40+ years o nancial and business experiences that have helped improve the

    PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

    According to Deloites research (2014), collecting, aggregating and analyzing data via the ubiquitous spreadsheet stillconstrains most businesses, making the process of dynamic forecasting and planning slow, opaque and prone to error.

    Where purpose built sofware is employed, its modeling and analytical capabilities are ofen not properly exploited.

    Although the use of Excel spreadsheets for designing financial models is widespread, many users are not aware of, or

    do not maximize the eatures built into the Excel package. This leads to costly errors, undetected errors in worksheets

    that have a negative impact and decisions based on scanty information which have not been fully analyzed.

    Aimed at all nance pro essionals involved in the analysis and preparation o budgeting and orecasting, this F nanc a

    Modelling for Financial Analysis, Forecasting and Budgeting in Excelexecutive program will show you how to

    reduce the risks in your decision-making and provide recommendations with proven practical quantitative tools and

    techniques. With hands-on examples throughout, this course provides a pragmatic approach to turn historical data

    into future management information that help identify revenue opportunities, costs, explain variances, identify keydrivers and rati y KPIs.

    This program caters to all levels of financial modeling analysis knowledge as well as Excel proficiency. Aside from the

    program booklet, you will receive numerous practical Excel example les that you can re er to and practice with back

    at the workplace, designing and constructing financial models in MS Excel.
