Budgets and Cash Flow Forecasts
Budgets and Forecasting
A budget is a numerical plan that outlines the figures an organization aims to achieve in the future. Companies typically create budgets for various aspects such as projected sales, production figures, and costs. On the other hand, a cash flow forecast estimates future financial figures based on past experiences. Businesses use these forecasts to predict future sales and the flow of cash into and out of the organization over a specific period.
Benefits of Budgeting
Budgeting serves as a financial representation of an organization's strategy, compelling managers to plan ahead and identify necessary resources to meet targets. This is particularly crucial in industries like insurance, where the products cater to medium- and long-term customer needs, with decisions made today having financial implications for many years.
