One could argue that formulating a budget is as much an art as it is a science. Practitioners must assemble an array of predictions for the next year from multiple sources, all derived in today’s environment and extrapolated forward under a variety of assumptions.
As we all know – and have seen much more lately – markets, interest rates, and underlying balance sheet dynamics change materially and frequently. Your proverbial “crystal ball” may feel cloudier than ever, and formulating a budget may be even more daunting given all of the current uncertainty.
How can institutions move from predictions to projections?
Join DCG’s Dan Farmer to explore how tapping into the power of data and forecasts can bring more clarity to the budget process. The discussion will include:
The impact of interest rate changes on asset and liability assumptions
Dynamic vs. static modelling
Using forecast models for loans and deposits
Stress testing and alternative scenarios
Don’t navigate in the dark this budget season. Join DCG for this timely webinar to explore how data and forecasts can unlock your budgeting process.
