COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Budgeting for Better Performance course. This program will equip you with the skills and knowledge to design, use, and refine budgets as practical tools for planning, controlling, and improving organisational performance. Throughout this course, you will learn how to link budgets and performance measures so that financial and non-financial information work together to support better decisions, clearer accountability, and continuous improvement.

This course begins by introducing the core concepts and purposes of budgeting so that you can see why budgets matter for performance. It explains what a budget is, the purpose of budgets, and why organisations and teams need budgets to plan activity, allocate resources, and manage risk. It then examines the advantages of budgets, including clarity, coordination, and performance focus, and lays the foundation for understanding how budgets can be used not just as financial documents but as practical management tools.

The course then explores how to use budgets to monitor and understand performance during the period. It explains how to monitor performance against budget, how to report actual results and variances, and how to distinguish controllable from non-controllable costs. It examines the causes of variances so you can move beyond “red and green numbers” to meaningful analysis, and introduces flexible budgets and budgetary control to show how budgets can be adjusted for volume and activity levels. It also explains how to analyse costs, outlines the advantages of flexible budgets, introduces non-financial budgets, and links these ideas with standard costing and budgetary control as integrated mechanisms for planning and review.

Performance measurement is then examined in detail so that you can link budgeting with broader performance management. The course explains what performance measurement is and the key performance measurement principles that underpin effective systems. It explores quantitative and qualitative measures, clarifies the role of financial performance measures, and introduces non-financial performance measures as complementary indicators. It then explains what qualitative measures tend to concentrate on, discusses the dangers of relying on non-financial measures without context, and highlights why a balanced mix of measures is essential.

The course then introduces benchmarking, stakeholder perspectives, and the balanced scorecard as ways to shape and interpret performance information. It explains several types of benchmarking and how they can be used to compare and improve performance, and identifies different stakeholders and their objectives so that you can understand whose needs the budgeting and performance system is serving. It also explains the balanced scorecard and how it brings together financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth perspectives to create a more rounded view of performance.

Designing and operating a performance system that works in practice is then explored so that you can turn concepts into an actionable framework. The course explains how to establish and operate your own system for budgeting and performance monitoring, and how to set and develop performance standards that are clear and meaningful. It considers what “acceptable” performance looks like in different contexts, explains how to monitor performance, and shows how to measure performance against standards in a consistent way. It also explores how to use this information to improve performance rather than just to monitor it.

The course concludes by linking budgeting and performance measurement to established quality and excellence frameworks. It explains the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) and how they support continuous improvement, introduces ISO 9000 as a formal quality management standard, and outlines the Business Excellence Model as a broader framework for assessing and improving organisational performance. It shows how these models can be aligned with budgeting and performance systems so that financial, operational, and quality objectives reinforce each other.

By the end of this course, you will be able to define and explain the purpose of budgets, design and interpret flexible budgets, and analyse variances in a way that supports better decision-making. You will understand how to combine financial and non-financial performance measures, apply benchmarking and balanced scorecard thinking, and set and monitor performance standards that are realistic and improvement-focused. Most importantly, you will be equipped to integrate budgeting, performance measurement, and quality frameworks into a coherent system that helps your organisation achieve better, more sustainable performance over time.

Excellent product. Great value, detailed parts and labels, outstanding construction.
Color: Brown, Size: Mid Back
Outstanding Purchase. The desk chair far exceeded my requirements and expectations. The price was so far below other office chairs that I was concerned that it would be shoddy, uncomfortable, cheap looking and impossible to put together. Materials were top grade, instructions were precise and all parts were market for location with "front and back" labels. Not a screw was missing or misaligned. Since my desk and office are in the Master, really impressed with the color and design. Very comfortable with good back support ,adjustment ease and arm support.. Bravo to your team!!!

Lovely and comfortable
Color: Brown, Size: Mid Back
Well made and easy to put together. I bought 2 and found them both to be well worth the money. You can tell the quality is there vs. other chairs I’ve bought online before.

Smooth!
Color: Brown, Size: Mid Back, Color: Brown, Size: Mid Back
Good value and looks pretty good. Faux leather feels like Naugahyde. Should be durable since that's what boat seat are made of. Could use a bit more lumbar support, but overall quite comfortable. Wider than I expected (so it must be designed for us Americans.) Casters are fantastic. Far superior to traditional plastic casters. Because these are made of rubber, they are dead quiet and smoooooth rolling across the flooring. Took about 30 minutes to assemble. Lots of parts but the pictorial instructions were clear. I'd give it five stars, but I wish it had a bit more height adjustment. We'll see how it holds up, but so far I'm pretty pleased.

Very pleased with my purchase
Color: Brown, Size: Mid Back
Easy to put together - instructions are good - excellent quality and the chair is comfortable. Far from being flimsy it's a heavy chair which rolls perfectly as needed. You won't find that many good chairs (if any!) at this excellent price. As always the ultimate question is: would I buy it again? The answer is YES, definitively. Great purchase.

superb, worth 2x the pricez
Color: Brown, Size: High Back
While this may appear to be an average run of the mill copycat sort of generic office chair, it's actually very comfortable with perfect lumbar support. Looks great, and the leather (or leather equivalent) feels durable. This sucker will last me in my WFH setup for years I do not doubt. Save yourself a few hundred bucks getting this versus some "premium" office chair... I doubt you'll notice much if any difference.
