Budgeting part 2: Creating and monitoring budgets in CUFS and Cognos Prerequisites
This session covers how to make a financial plan, prepare it for upload to the finance system and monitor progress against the plan. It is a practical course which will look at the techniques and systems within the University that can be used for budgeting.
It is an ideal follow on from Budgeting part 1 and for those who have a good working knowledge of budgeting principles and want to develop skills in using the University budgeting tools.
This half-day session is designed for University staff with a responsibility for managing against budgets and financial targets, and who control and monitor income and expenditure.
