Management Accounting for FP&A
January 29, 2020

By Gary Cokins,  Founder of Analytics-Based Performance Management

FP&A Tags:
Financial Planning and Analysis, Cost Planning

To most FP&A professionals and accountants there is confusion and a lack of consensus on how to allocate costs to products and service lines. I refer to this as “a mystery in a box to accountants”. To solve this mystery here are three lectures to accounting students from a skilled and experienced accountant – me – that explains the problem and how to solve it.

FP&A Tags:
Financial Planning and Analysis, Planning and Budgeting, Cost Planning, Profitability Analysis

Traditional budgeting process normally starts with forecasting sales levels, cost of goods sold then all operation expenses until reaching to the proforma income statement without understanding how changes in costs (both variable and fixed) & sales will affect profits in future periods. But modern FP&A professionals started to implement CVP analysis during the annual profit plan to study the interaction of sales with variable & fixed costs on the profits received.

How to Manage Cost Without a Traditional Budget
April 18, 2019

By Bjarte Bogsnes, Founder of Bogsnes Advisory

FP&A Tags:
Financial Planning and Analysis, Beyond Budgeting, Planning and Budgeting, Cost Planning
