Business Partnering (budget & forecast) - consider life cycle of the fields for BP16; - work with HR peers for the input information and allocations - To support budget holders and participants through the annual and quarterly budget and forecast process respectively. To gain knowledge from each process and improve the quality of budget and forecasts process. During the planning and forecasting period, I collected P&B input data by working closely with budget holders and HR team. To ensure data accuracy and integrity, I have created a master spreadsheet to calculate Contractor’s inputs in a more efficient way and reduced the chance of typo errors as the spreadsheet is mainly formula driven and checks are run at the end. In addition, I took an opportunity to gain knowledge from each process e.g. cost allocation cycles by closely working with the team and being inquisitive. Also, I supported the team during the planning/ forecasting period e.g. creating spreadsheet to collate BPC data.
