Managing Financial Budgets

Managing Financial Budgets Course

Successful managers and operations professionals must have the ability to develop and implement effective budget plans to achieve the organisation’s objectives. The most successful organisations use the budget process to keep them on track to deliver realistic aims and goals.

This course will move a manager’s focus away from simply reviewing last year’s financial performance, toward the development of an interactive approach, designed to really understand financial performance and the consequence of inaction.
