Certificate in Advanced Budgeting and Forecasting

This course is the second level of budgeting after Al Mawred 'Effective Budgeting and Cost Control' course. It goes beyond the theory of budgeting as a concept to cover specific steps to make the budget a value-added process in the organization. By building user-friendly models and applying scenario analysis, participants can spend less time gathering data and more time analyzing this data for decision-making. Several Microsoft Excel tools are used throughout this course for practicality and to provide participants with the skills they need to apply in their organization immediately. Such tools include 'what-if' analysis and the 'solver', among many others.The course also highlights some of the leading forecasting models and provides a detailed evaluation of capital budgeting techniques, all of which are applied in Microsoft Excel and put into practice. PrerequisitesNone — open to managers at all levels
