Financial Planning & Forecasting

Overview

Any organisation’s financial success depends on its ability to create robust and dependable budgets at the beginning of the year. The ability to create accurate budgets and then operate within those parameters is essential to the survival of the majority of organisations.

This web-based course will look at the requirement for a solid planning cycle and how everybody in the association can add to a convenient and precise financial plan. This program will also cover the need for quality analysis of the actual performance of the budget, including action planning, and how the data can be used to make accurate forecasts.

Top Learning Objectives

You don’t need any accounting or finance experience because we’ll go over everything from the ground up. We will use Microsoft Excel in the course to analyse and create a Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow Statement, so you must have access to and a basic understanding of how to use it.

We will also learn how to create the following financial models from scratch using Microsoft Excel:

Discounted Cash Flow,
the Weighted Average Cost of Capital,
Price to Earnings,
Price to Revenue, and so on – all from scratch (assuming you have no or some accounting/finance knowledge).
