Description: Budgeting can be a challenge in good times, let alone when economic times create new obstacles. But imagine how a well thought-out process and a well-constructed budget can help set the tone for a roadmap to the future. Learn methods to achieve a balanced approach to revenue assessment, expense management, cash flow and modeling budget assumptions. An Excel^® template will be used to show how modeling different "what if" scenarios can help create a workable and realistic budget.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the budget planning cycle and methods to incorporate firm or departmental objectives into the budget
Define types of budgets and uses for each
Identify methods to develop the revenue and expense components of a budget
Demonstrate the value "what if" scenarios play in the development and analysis of the budget
