Powerful Budgeting for Better Planning and Management

To many managers, a budget is just a budget - a routine task to perform. But in this eye-opening book, they'll find out how many to transform it into much more. Finney shows how to turn the budgeting process into a useful planning and management tool. He invents a fictitious company to vividly illustrate common budgeting problems and their solutions. Pinpointing the techniques and processes for developing good budgets, he describes how to establish the context and select the format; deal with uncertainty; and develop the content and encourage excellence. Finney not only presents a proper process flow and describes how to organize the details for accuracy, consistency, and terrific communications, but also helps executives make the transition from what they are doing now...to the rewards of powerful budgeting.
