Description

You've completed your budgets and forecasts for 2013, but before you sit back and assume that all the hard work is done, ask yourself: is the plan flexible enough to accommodate events that could make the plan irrelevant just a few months in? Many companies today are taking preemptive measures to ensure that their forecasts remain current throughout the year.

Planning for 2013 offers a unique opportunity for finance professionals to reinvent themselves and their companies by adopting forward-looking solutions. Join us for a Business Finance webcast, sponsored by Prophix, where industry experts will explain how you can learn from the past to make forecasting and re-forecasting part of your regular planning routine.
