Budget Analytics for Accurate & Trusted Budgeting

Most municipal budgets rely too heavily on assumptions, outdated practices, or “last year plus a percentage.”

This session introduces modern budget analytics that improve accuracy and strengthen confidence in your financial planning process.

Participants will learn how to:

• Effectively analyze and interpret historical actuals
• Apply growth, inflation, and service adjustments properly
• Incorporate special projects into budgets with clarity
• Develop category-specific forecasting approaches for taxation, utilities, salaries, and operating costs

This webinar is ideal for municipalities looking to move from reactive budgeting to data-driven decision-making, while building credibility with Council and the public through transparent, consistent methodologies.
