Management Analysis and Forecasting overview

What is Management Analysis and Forecasting?

Management Analysis and Forecasting (MAF) is an Excel-based template system designed to summarize and forecast critical organizational performance data on a monthly basis. The software processes dual data streams of operations and financial performance to generate comprehensive monthly and quarterly reports. Originally developed for small to medium enterprises, the system is adaptable for various entities including large facilities and infrastructure projects, providing consistent performance monitoring regardless of organizational size or complexity.

The MAF system enables organizations to map trial balance accounts from existing accounting software into a standardized format that reflects organizational responsibilities. Users identify key performance indicators and group them into stakeholder categories, with the system automatically extrapolating operations performance data and forecasting financial metrics including revenues, expenses, interest, taxes, and select assets and liabilities. The software includes sensitivity analysis capabilities that allow organizations to adjust assumptions related to demand growth, pricing indices, employment factors, and tax rates to create accurate forecasts for the current and subsequent year.
