Course description
The budget setting skills online assessment can assess how well you are able to set realistic budgets. Budget setting is fundamental to effective financial management and is one of a number of skills employers find desirable for management and other positions. Budget monitoring requires an accurate base budget to compare with actual expenditure. Poor budget setting can often result in poor financial management and budgets being ignored due to their inaccuracy.
Organisations wishing to achieve value for money from their resources need effective budget setting. Realistic budgets can then be used for financial control. Our budget setting skills online assessment is an excellent tool for organisations to use to identify and improve their staff skills in this area. It is one of a range of online competency assessments available.
