    CFO Budgeting & Forecasting — Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a budget and a forecast?

    A budget is a committed plan for a defined period, usually set before the year begins. A forecast is a projection of expected outcomes that is updated throughout the period as new information becomes available. Budgets set targets; forecasts predict reality.

    What is a rolling forecast?

    A rolling forecast is a financial projection that is continuously updated — typically monthly or quarterly — by adding a new period at the end as the current period closes. It provides a continuously current view of expected performance, unlike a static annual budget.

    How often should budgets be reviewed?

    Budgets should be reviewed monthly through variance analysis — comparing actual results to budget and investigating significant differences. Full-year forecasts should be updated quarterly to reflect actual performance and changing conditions.

    Why do I need both a budget and a forecast?

    A budget sets your targets and spending limits for the year. A forecast tells you where you are actually heading based on current performance. Together, they let you measure progress, identify gaps early, and take corrective action before problems escalate.
