Financial governance is not reserved for large organisations. It starts with knowing your numbers, planning for uncertainty and building habits that support better decisions. In this episode, Cathy Love and Layland Webb unpack the practical difference between a budget and a forecast, and explain why uncertainty is a reason to scenario plan rather than delay it. They also challenge the industry’s narrow focus on billable KPIs and explore how lead indicators can create better performance, accountability and support for employees. The episode closes with a listener question about turning an informal business relationship into a clear commercial partnership. Topics covered on financial governance, forecasting and meaningful KPIs: Financial governance through uncertainty: Why NDIS reform, Thriving Kids, cancellations and workforce changes should be built into different financial scenarios. Budgeting and forecasting: How a budget sets the destination while regular forecasting helps business owners respond to what is actually happening. KPIs beyond billables: The difference between lead and lag KPIs, and why behaviour, client satisfaction and employee satisfaction also matter. P.S.
