Forecasting And Budgeting

Forecasting and Budgeting in UAE

Budgeting and financial forecasting are tools that companies use to establish a plan regarding where management ideally wants to take the company (budgeting) and whether it is actually heading in the right direction (financial forecasting). Although budgeting and financial forecasting are often used together, distinct differences exist between the two concepts. Budgeting quantifies the expectation of revenues that a business wants to achieve for a future period, whereas financial forecasting estimates the number of revenues that will be achieved in a future period.

Financial Forecasting and Budgeting in UAE selects the most economical sources of finance and estimates the total capital requirements. This will help to determine the future financial activities of a company. The financial plans are prepared to manage the expenditures and fulfil financial goal of the company.
