Product Information

Many businesses have budgets, but few actually use them properly. The result is missed targets, cash flow pressure, and decisions made too late.

This session focuses on budgeting and planning in the real world, not complex models or theory. It explains why budgets fail, how poor planning leads to cash problems, and what a useful budget should really look like.

The session is practical and clear. It shows how to link budgets to real business activity, how to plan for uncertainty, and how to use budgets as a working tool instead of a once-a-year exercise. Delegates will leave with a better understanding of how budgeting and planning protect cash, support better decisions, and keep businesses under control.
