When margins tighten and load shedding pushes up operating costs, rolling last year's budget forward hides waste that South African organisations can no longer afford. This course teaches finance teams and budget holders to build budgets from a zero base, justify every line item against business drivers, and hand real cost ownership to department managers. Delegates leave with a repeatable method for challenging spend, funding priorities and defending the budget to an executive committee.
