Description

An effective Budgeting activity ensures timely, precise and reliable assessment of income and expenses. Moreover, it is considered as a priceless tool for action planning and improvement of financial results. Businesses without a reliable Budget literally move blindly in an atmosphere of insecurity, which sometimes is even a source of unpleasant surprises and unexpected developments. Last minute action is costly, lacks in efficiency and inevitably creates a negative working environment.

Budgeting allows organisations to check whether their objectives do indeed lead to profitability or are in need of revision. Moreover, it allows timely preparation of appropriate action, to ensure improved use of resources, increased cash flow and reduced loans.
