PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
Deloitt e’s research (2014) into planning, budgeting and forecasting found that 37% of respondents admitt ed to a failure in aligning their planning, budgeting and forecasting eff ectively with corporate strategy. In these circumstances, thereis a risk that the activities of the organization will be misdirected as well as lack focus, alignment and cohesion because expectations have not been properly set. For organizations operating in a world of continuous change, annual budgetsneed to be upgraded to include responsive, fl exible continuous forecasting. Rolling forecasts off er greater visibility into future operating performance. Unlike budgets, they refl ect the fact that operations don’t switch off at year-end.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
According to Deloitt e’s research (2014), collecting, aggregating and analyzing data via the ubiquitous spreadsheet still constrains most businesses, making the process of dynamic forecasting and planning slow, opaque and prone to error. Where purpose built soft ware is employed, its modeling and analytical capabilities are oft en not properly exploited. Although the use of Excel spreadsheets for designing fi nancial models is widespread, many users are not aware of, or do not maximize the features 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 fi nance professionals involved in the analysis and preparation of budgeting and forecasting, this FinancialModelling for Financial Analysis, Forecasting and Budgeting in Excel executive program will show you how toreduce 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 key drivers and ratify KPIs.
This program caters to all levels of fi nancial modeling analysis knowledge as well as Excel profi ciency. Aside from the program booklet, you will receive numerous practical Excel example fi les that you can refer to and practice with back at the workplace, designing and constructing fi nancial models in MS Excel.
