The primary objective of this two-hour overview session is to provide professional accountants, who currently have little or no previous experience in operational budgeting, practical insights regarding certain budgeting tools essential to the establishment, maintenance, and monitoring of an effective operational budgeting system in the less-sophisticated environment. Topics that will be addressed during this session include:

1. Planning for success in the operational budgeting process,
2. Obtaining inputs from “responsible parties” (estimation) external to the accounting function,
3. Processing (modeling) estimation inputs through the use of techniques such as “simple” regression analysis, and
4. Practical variance analysis for management results.
