SUMMARY:(LIMG10/26) Budgeting From the Bottom Up
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nMost budgeting processes look at revenue as the starting point. This session examines the budgeting process from the bottom of the profit and loss statement rather than the top. The process begins with the profit desired for the company or a revenue producing department.  Then the overhead the company or department needs to cover for those earnings. Then from the gross profit you can determine the needed revenue.   \nDuring the process net profit per unit of revenue\, overhead cost per unit of revenue\, and other metrics are determined to create a living budget which is reviewed monthly. \nDesigned For\nMost budgeting processes begin at the top of the profit-and-loss statement by forecasting revenue. This session flips the script by starting at the bottom: the profit your organization wants to achieve. From there\, participants learn how to build a “living budget” that incorporates required overhead\, calculates the needed gross profit\, and determines the revenue necessary to reach financial goals. You’ll also walk through metrics such as net profit per revenue unit and overhead per revenue unit\, and see how monthly review transforms this approach into a dynamic tracking tool.\n\nObjectives\nLearning objectives:  \n\nUnderstand the budgeting process starting with profit rather than revenue. \nUnderstand net profit per unit of revenue and overhead cost per unit of revenue. \nUnderstand how to make this budget a living document that can easily track progress towards achieving the desired budget.

SUMMARY:(LITE11/26) Cybersecurity Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n \nIn today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape\, the strength of an organization’s cybersecurity measures is not just in its technology\, but in the awareness and vigilance of its workforce.
