Course overview
The rate of change in the business environment is greater than ever before and managers are recognising that they have to spend more time looking forward. For you, the finance professional, this is vitally important but not necessarily straightforward. Coming to terms with judgements about the future, which are subject to significant margins of error, requires a particular set of skills.
As well as describing the principles of forecasting, this course looks at their application, especially in decision-making. It covers interpretative statistics, short / medium range forecasting and long-range forecasting.
