Budgeting and Forecasting Manual is both a resource of proven
techniques and a step-by-step reference source for evaluating, forecasting,
and presenting annual or long-term budgets and plans. Starting with the factors
of a sound business plan, this Manual covers short-term and annual plans
for sales, marketing, manufacturing, research, finance and administration.
It also discusses major long-term planning activities such as developing
strategic plans for various departments, performing product-market analysis,
determining risk, and using budget results to increase operating efficiency.
The Manual’s specific budgeting techniques help you:
• Explore the financial impact of alternative budget strategies
• Get buy-in from department heads to achieve the overall plan
• Schedule the budget preparation process using methods most appropriate
for your company
• Institute an effective cost system using modern applications
• Develop detailed forecasts by evaluating long-term trends, cyclical
movements, seasonal patterns, and random fluctuations
The most recent update to the Manual includes discussions of operations measurements
and internal control systems, collecting and reporting budget data, the development
of a forecasting system, qualitative and quantitative forecasting, and selling
expense.
