We often get asked what the differences between budgets and forecasts are. Whilst they may seem similar, there are significant differences between the two. Let’s explore why:
Budgeting involves creating a spending plan based on your anticipated income and expenses. It helps you distribute your funds to various endeavours, manage your expenditures, and track your progress. Typically budgets are established for specific timeframes like a month, quarter, or year. The most common is yearly.
Forecasting involves making informed decisions about future financial situations using past information and patterns. It allows you to predict your future income and costs, recognise potential advantages or challenges, and make necessary adjustments to your strategies. A forecast is typically revised frequently to adapt to shifting market conditions and business achievements.
