reating a budget involves a lot of detailed work. While we’re
Cmaking the budget, most of our attention is on thinking
carefully, calculating correctly, and getting the figures right. And
that’s exactly what we should be doing. However, when we’ve
finished getting all the parts right and all the details correct, we
need to change our focus. We need to take a look at the whole
package, think about our audience, and decide how to present
the budget.

• Combining parts of your budget
• Revising budgetary assumptions
•Creating templates and formatting a budget
• Adding account codes
