| Multi-dimensional |
Multi-demensional budget
views provide each manager with their view of the budget even
where this conflicts with operational structure.
|
| Security |
Comprehensive security
restricts what data a user may see.
|
| Build
the base |
Build from any base
and generate inflation according to the type of expense. This
reduces the time to build the base and allow changes to inflation
predictions at any time.
|
| Flexible
profiling |
Flexible profiling
rules phase the budget across accounting periods providing an
accurate reflection of annual, quarterly. monthly and weekly
costs based on number of employees, production weeks or any
other criteria
|
| Restructuring |
Restructuring without
coding change allows rapid response to changes in how the company
operates. Management may create new views that reflect this in
both current and historic data so as to maintain valid comparisons.
|
| Budget
input |
Distributed
input of data eliminates the need for information to be passed
to those building the budget at the operational level.
|
| Base
data |
Central input of base
data - salaries, wages,headcount, depreciation, central costs
- is immediately reflected in the budget being built by user departments.
This eliminates duplication of data input and reduces budget preparation
time.
|
| Imports |
Spreadsheet and third
party import and export eliminate re-keying of data from users
who do not have access to Forte and for import of data from complex
modeling. The import of the Baan General ledger structure is also
available so that the budgets may be prepared using Forte.
|

Sheet |

allow the production of full management packs just as they will
be produced for the coming financial year
|

the ability to predict the final outturn as the year progresses
|
| Contras |
Contra balancing allows
the Balance Sheet to be balanced at a stroke reflecting the budget
in the Profit and Loss
|
| Allocations |
Reallocations allow
complex redistribution of costs from supplier departments to user
departments
|
| Audit |
Full audit trails and
drilldown capability provide transparency to executive business
management and senior departmental managers. Drill down displays
who has made the changes and an explanation of why.
|
| Categories |

categories such as base, inflation, growth, recharges provide
management immediately with an answer to "Why has the budget
changed".
