Surgent's Controllership Skills Update - Budgeting, Forecasting, and Big Data (2 hours) - 1 Tech & 1 [NT]

Online

Member Price: $99

Budgets are the vehicle for allocating resources, measuring activities, and identifying needed changes and improvements. An organization's strategy is the primary driver of costs. To be effective, the budget must be linked to strategy and long-term plans. Numerous organizations have achieved a series of short-term targets (budgets) but failed longer term, demonstrating the lack of this necessary linkage. Forecasting, a critical part of any successful budgeting process, can be flawed by technical errors, organizational structure, or emotional forces. The establishment of a system to collect, process, and analyze big data can provide significant insights into the budgeting and forecasting process. An efficient system of incorporating big data and analytics into normal activities will improve management's decision-making. This brief program offers specific actions to improve your forecasting and budgeting activities. In addition, more advanced techniques are identified for the participant's further review, which can be applied throughout an organization. Good budgets effectively allocate resources, provide information for decision-making and serve as an early warning system for unforeseen events. A poor budgeting process fosters a false sense of security, provides inappropriate or inaccurate data, and reinforces the status quo. Budgets are about the organization's story, not just the raw numbers!

Member Price: $250

Tactical CFO is a four-part series that answers the how and execution aspects of our strategies and financials. The titles include: Tactical Budgeting – Moving Beyond Traditional Budgets to Manage Performance Description – Traditional budgets often consume significant time while delivering limited operational value. This session reframes budgeting as a tactical management tool rather than a once-a-year accounting exercise. Participants will explore how to redesign the budget process to improve communication, accountability, and decision-making across the organization. The session emphasizes output-based metrics, flexible budgeting approaches, benchmarking, and educating non-financial managers so budgets become a tool for managing performance, not just controlling spending. Tactical Business Systems – Getting the Most from Information Systems and ERP Description – CFOs are increasingly accountable for the effectiveness of information systems, even if IT does not formally report to them. This session focuses on the tactical role finance leaders play in evaluating, selecting, implementing, and managing information systems. Participants will gain a practical framework for understanding IT, ERP systems, security, and emerging technologies such as AI. The session emphasizes asking the right questions, aligning systems with strategy, and avoiding common pitfalls that cause system implementations to fail. Tactical Data Management – Turning Data into Actionable Information Description – Organizations collect massive amounts of data, but far less information that actually improves decisions. This session focuses on how CFOs and CPAs can tactically manage data to generate insight, improve performance, and reduce risk. Participants will explore financial and non-financial data, data organization, and the role of analytics in understanding customers, operations, and employees. The session emphasizes clarity, simplicity, and storytelling so data supports better decisions rather than overwhelming stakeholders. Tactical Finance Leadership – Building the Finance Team of Tomorrow Description – The finance function is changing rapidly, driven by technology, demographics, and evolving business expectations. This session focuses on the tactical leadership skills CFOs and CPAs need to build and lead high-performing finance teams in the years ahead. Participants will explore how roles, skills, and expectations are shifting, and how leaders can prepare their teams for increased automation, real-time reporting, and greater strategic involvement. The session blends practical leadership guidance with forward-looking insights.
