The effective management of budgeting and cost control is crucial for project/process-based organizations. Nowadays, if contemporary organizations want to stay competitive, they are urged to think in terms of process-value added to customers/shareholders.
Now, more than ever, organisations need to ensure they are financially sustainable. An excellent budgeting process is a crucial tool to achieve this.
This unit is about the use of budgeting for planning, coordinating and authorising the activities of an organisation and for controlling costs.
It examines estimating techniques relevant to different stages of the project’s life, how to derive the overall cost and timescale of the project and how to match that with the required limitations.
This highly practical and interactive one-day course will clearly explain the purpose of the budget in controlling costs and forecasting financial and operational performance and planning.
