27. Financial Planning
The short-term (operating) financial planning process
Short-term financial planning begins with the sales forecast. From it, companies develop production plans that take
into account lead (preparation) times and include estimates of the required raw materials. Using the production
plans, the firm can estimate direct labor requirements, factory overhead outlays, and operating expenses. Once
these estimates have been made, the firm can prepare a pro forma income statement and cash budget. With these
basic inputs, the firm can finally develop a pro forma balance sheet.
