The budget is arguably the most important document within your company. It lies at the epicenter of your planning and control processes, and the quality of your organization's management decisions depends on clear financial plans integrated with budget-based control systems. A good budget allows management to optimize profits, cash flow and shareholder value, so you need to get it right.
