Research by Business Finance magazine and APQC has found that the majority of budgets have targets that become obsolete before mid-year.

These changes are often led by a move to rolling forecasts.

Steve is the co-author (with Steve Morlidge) of Future Ready: How to Master Business Forecasting (Wiley, 2010) and the co-author (with Jeremy Hope) of Beyond Performance Management (Harvard Business School Press, 2012). Steve's work has recently been featured in CFO Magazine, Entrepreneur, and the Journal of Accountancy. This is the first of a four part series Steve is presenting.

In today's volatile economic environment, lengthy budgeting processes can hinder the accuracy of plans, budgets and forecasts. Inaccurate forecasts make it difficult for organizations to have confidence in their financial standing and make informed investments. To address these challenges, organizations need the ability to re-forecast as market conditions change, continually monitor performance against corporate goals, and ensure that forecasts are based on the most current data. The best practices detailed in this webinar will illustrate how the "top performers" are achieving these goals, devising more accurate plans, budgets, and forecasts, as well as making quicker decisions, delivering accurate financial reports to decision-makers more quickly, and impacting profitability.
