Vetting the Operating Plan (Budget)

An operating plan, or budget, establishes expectations for performance during the upcoming fiscal year.  It puts the credibility of the management team into play -- set expectations too high and you may fail to meet them; set them too low and you may be accused of sandbagging.

Vetting a budget is easy, the problem is the wrong tools are being used to do it.  Click on this link (budget_reivew_tool.xlsm) to download the Excel-based tool.  The three videos below provide instructions on how to use it.  Click on a video to watch it.
