Quarterly Rolling Forecasting (QRF) is the ‘hot topic’ at present as many accountants around the world are recognizing the flaws with annual planning and monthly re-forecasting. Re-forecasting the year-end position every month is flawed on a number of counts, it never looks further than year-end, each month the forecast changes creating number noise, the opportunity to set realistic reporting targets for the on-coming quarter is not utilized, the forecast model frequently is based in error prone Excel, and seldom do budget holders buy-in to the forecast as they were not involved in the forecasting process.

The good news is that, implementing Quarterly rolling forecasting is simple if you base it on solid foundation stones.

Quarterly rolling forecasting, typically going out 18 months at a time, can be a quick process. Less than 5 working days if it follows the “fast, light touch” philosophy developed from “winning finance” teams from around the world. This toolkit will show you “how to implement quarterly rolling forecasting – and get it right first time”. In addition the toolkit will show how QRF evolves into quarterly rolling planning (QRP), a process that will revolutionize any organization whether public or private sector!

It is being increasingly recognised that a planning tool is required for a forecasting and planning process. The stalwart Excel has now been extended beyond its intended boundaries with management accountants building monsters that are beyond any quality assurance programme, littered with logic errors hidden in the formula and designed without the big picture view.
