Tough economic times challenge managers to be good leaders. This is especially true when it comes to dealing with financial issues. Economic pressures can cause indecision and poor decisions when it comes to budgeting. Unfortunately many managers have not had sufficient training to meet the challenge of developing effective budgets – even in good times.  

Effective budgets are vital for the good management of any organisation. As strong financial management is critical for organisational success, it is crucial that anyone involved in the budget creation and/or budget management process is well trained in practical techniques for doing so.  Budgets are used for decision making, cash flow planning and operational judgements as well as forming part of the business planning process and so play a central role in the running of any organisation.

This program teaches the participant how making budgeting a compelling, interesting tool. Useful techniques for evaluating the present costs and budget, identifying organizational inputs & outputs, preparing for problems, and attaining monetary objectives will be learned by participants.
