Many people are often confused with the differences between budgeting services in Toronto and forecasting services in Toronto. Budgeting is a financial plan that is prepared annually and it identifies desired results (goals and/or objectives) of a company. Forecasting is a projection of expected results within a given year. Note the difference: budgets are financial plans with desired results; whereas, forecasts are predictions of expected results.
Two common forms of financial budgets that most companies prepare are as follows:

• Operating budgets – prepared annually for the company and its departments. Annual costs of different projects are also included in the operating budgets.

• Project budgets – prepared for the entire life of a project. They are used to control and report individual cost of a project.

• Capital budgets – prepared to help identify, assess and plan for a company’s capital needs to meet their goals and objectives. Capital expenditures include furniture and equipment, capital software and more.
