Budgeting and Cash Flow Forecasting and Reporting

“Cash Flow forecasting” is a technical term essentially meaning “prepping for the profits you expect to receive”. A fundamental principle in business that projects your organization’s financial position and what initiatives it could accordingly plan for around that.

The problem cashflow forecasting has always presented is accuracy.

Without an overall working culture of transparency and communication to support it, cash flow forecasting can be as pointless as reading tea leaves. Something that would’ve been risky by itself before Covid-19, but it could be absolutely fatal now. Every Manager needs an understanding of finance in order to oversee efficient budgets, manage financial patterns and meet targets.

This workshop will provide you with the skills and tools to do this, with the aim of achieving your organization’s overall goals.

Cash is also the most important resource in any business to ensure healthy growth and business expansion. However, it is also generally the most poorly managed aspect of many organisation. Its management tends to take the form of crisis management at the end of each month. 

Well-planned and proactive cash flow management starts with managing your revenue and your business creditor properly.

A lack of financial management is a lack of management. Period.
