Event Budget
A budgeting framework covering forecasting, contingency, approvals and ROI measurement.
Overview
A working budget template built for approval and for control: line items grouped by workstream, committed versus forecast versus actual columns, a contingency policy, currency and tax assumptions, and a cost-per-qualified-outcome view that leadership actually reads.

Best Practices
- Hold 10% contingency centrally, never distributed across workstreams.
- Track committed spend, not invoiced spend — commitments are what bind you.
- Report cost per qualified outcome alongside total spend at every review.
- Freeze the budget at T-30 and route every change through a single approver.
