ON24

2 CPE Credits in MT

OVERVIEW

Economic uncertainty, tariffs, interest rates, geopolitical risks, labor shortages and changing customer demand continue to create volatility. You and your finance teams need better scenario planning, not just annual budgets.

DESIGNED FOR

  • CPAs and accountants working in corporate accounting and finance
  • CPAs in public practice advising corporate clients on financial planning and analysis (FP&A)

BENEFITS

  • Walk away with a practical scenario-planning framework you can apply to your own budgets and forecasts right away.
  • Learn to spot the leading indicators that signal a shift before it shows up in the financials.
  • Gain confidence presenting “what-if” analyses and recommendations to leadership and the board.
  • Build a repeatable process for navigating tariffs, inflation and other sources of ongoing economic uncertainty.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Building dynamic scenario models (base, upside, downside) to pressure-test budgets and forecasts against shifting economic conditions
  • Identifying leading indicators — cost trends, demand signals, capital markets activity — that flag when assumptions need to change
  • Real-world examples: Protecting margin when inflation stays elevated and modeling cost pass-through options when tariffs raise input costs
  • Real-world examples: Adjusting cash flow and liquidity plans as consumer spending slows and weighing capital allocation trade-offs for AI investment
  • Evaluating how different scenarios ripple through revenue, profitability, cash flow and liquidity
  • Communicating scenario assumptions, financial impacts and recommendations to business leaders with confidence
