From operational planning to P&L, balance sheet and cash flow

Operational planning and financial planning are considered separately in many companies. Cost centers, projects or profit centers are planned in detail, while the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow are derived separately or in a very simplified form. This leads to media disruptions, manual reconciliations and limited transparency.

In this webinar, we will show how operational planning can be structured and consistently transferred to integrated financial planning.

What the webinar is about

In this webinar, you will receive a sound introduction to the logic of integrated corporate planning with a focus on the link between operational planning and financial planning.

The focus is not on the isolated consideration of individual planning levels, but on the end-to-end planning process: from operational data collection to suitable parameters and drivers through to the consistent derivation of the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow.

Using practical examples, we show how operational planning – such as cost center, profit center or project planning – can be structured and transferred to integrated financial planning. The concepts and workflows presented are based on practical application in Corporate Planner and can be transferred to typical requirements in operational controlling.

Typical questions from practice

• How can operational planning be structured and comprehensible?
• How is operational data consistently processed in P&L, balance sheet and cash flow planning?
• What role do drivers, parameters and dependencies play in integrated planning?
• How can scenarios, forecasts and simulations be set up efficiently?
• How can a consistent overall picture of financial development be created?

We will address these and your specific questions in the webinar.
