Corporate Budget & Management Report — Excel Simulation
Microsoft Excel · Budget Verification · Variance Analysis
- Built a 9-sheet Excel model that simulates one annual budget cycle of a free-to-air TV network: verifying 25 departmental submissions, consolidating them into a corporate and programme budget, and reporting monthly Budget vs Actual with a full-year forecast.
- Automated verification rules (document completeness, year-on-year cap, benchmark tests) flagged 7 of 25 submissions and reduced requests by 5.9% in the simulation; variance statuses use both a percentage tolerance and a materiality threshold.
- Added TV-specific metrics — cost per episode vs genre benchmark, TVR and cost per TVR point — plus 9 automated integrity checks so every total reconciles across sheets.
