If i remember this correctly, the Accounting associations e.g. CMA/ CPA, offer some related training courses. Since none of my employers agree to cover the costs, I have never done any of them. It would be interesting to hear other's feedback.

这个不用上什么课吧。一言盖之:base line+opps-risks+seasonality+NPI+other.三张表,最复杂的是cash flow,最简单但是最贴近business的是P/L,B/S涉及working capital。曾经做的B/S forecasting,有200多行,每行都代表不同的business story。简单来说,forecasting技巧并不难掌握,难的是对business的理解和把握,assumptions的准确性,和准确call in&call out risks and opps.
