Part I: Topic
Financial planning and forecasting are important in modern
small and medium enterprises especially in boosting their
performance. The source evaluation constitutes various ar ticles
related to the topic of discussion. Analysis of this topic helps to
understand the need to manage finances and facilitate the
development of better strategies in doing business. Firms work
towards development of unique and successful strategies for
financial achievement. However, there can be various
challenges when implementing the findings involving financial
planning and forecasting. However, having significant critical
information will facilitate the achievement of the organizational
goals. SMEs need to understand their position in business and
the need to focus on achieving their goals.
Part II: Source Evaluation

risk management on the performance of micro, small and
medium enterprises.

Source’s Publication: Date: 2019
Publishing Information: Sustainability Journal
Source Summary:
The source analyzes SME performance and the main drivers to
such results. Such factors are how to manage risks, internal
elements, and external factors. Many entrepreneurs are keen on
identifying risks although they do not use the skills gained to
mitigate such risks. Each entrepreneur interprets risks in
various ways and depending on their relevance to the business.

Application of risk management in financial variables like
board meeting frequencies every year can help in reducing
costs. There is also a need for firms to focus on factors such as
financial marketing, organization, and technical assistance as
independent variables to raise competitiveness. Therefore,
understanding the importance of financial analytics and
forecasting in businesses is a major step towards achieving
financial stability.

Source Summary:
The source researches the post-shipment financial flows
affecting the small and medium enterprise involved in
importation of various products. Global outsourcing impacts
inventory levels and other factors such as capital availability
and cash flow. Outsourcing can also contribute to low sales due
to cost leading to reduced firm’s profitability. Therefore, the
article explores financial supply management by firms to find
out whether firms can ensure alignment of the financial and
physical supply chains. Global sourcing tends to affect cash
flows whenever there is disruption of lead times and supply
chains leading to delays in shipment. SMEs trading
internationally must understand the challenges they can face
during trade due to factors such as delays. The article is
important since it offers great ideas about challenges that SMEs
trading internationally can face.

Source Summary:
The article is about the effect financial skills management can
have on SMEs. The success of such firms depends on various
factors such as intellectual capital integration and the nature of
accountants working in such businesses. Understanding such
factors can contribute to the growth of SMEs by implementing
valuable recommendations regarding financial management
techniques. Firms must understand the available intellectual
capital in their country and utilize it. Financial management is a
major intellectual capital that small businesses can adopt to
ensure that they run their businesses smoothl y. The
multinational finance organization highlights that SMEs are
major job provides around the globe and play a big role in
economic growth. For a company to record positive performance
it must focus on issues affecting its financial status. Therefore
investigating the impact of business turnover and its effect on
the financial status of an SME is vital.

Source Summary:
The source focuses on insights critical for implementing market
analytics in SMEs to generate income, reduce overhead, and
improve the internal company operations. Technical
development, as well as globalization, contribute a lot to the
creation of business fragmentation. This has, therefore,
increased pressure on businesses for the satisfaction of market
demands due to the growth of the market in many areas.
Therefore, small businesses need to focus on tactics that are
their products competitive or financial security. The use of
analytics such as mathematical methods and data mining can
facilitate the implementation of the latest technologies for
SMEs to thrive. The source is critical in explaining factors that
contribute to the greater performance of small and medium-size
ventures for competitiveness with other big firms. Considering
the increased informatics use due to technological advancement,
SMEs can benefit a lot by focusing on financial reports and
applying recommendations in business activities.

Week 2 Prooject Plan: Financial Planning And Forecasting

Effectiveness Of Financial Planning And Forecasting For Small
And Medium Enterprises Performance
Scope
The research investigates the performance of small and medium
businesses that have utilized financial planning and forecasting
in the past three years. The research focuses on the small and
medium businesses in New York that have been in operation for
at least five years. I will seek to understand how the businesses
conduct their financial planning and forecasting and its
contribution to the business’s performance.
Value
Financial planning and forecasting aim to help a firm develop
better strategies in its operation and improve its performance.
This research would impact my professional life through the
insights discovered from the businesses’ experience using
financial planning and forecasting. The business’s challenges in
the implementation process would provide sufficient
information on the significant areas to focus on in giving

businesses the financial assistance required. The business that
has shown substantial growth from financial planning and
forecasting will help understand the best approach in offering
financial planning and forecasting services to similar firms.
Communication medium
Effective communication would be vital to the respondent’s
willingness to give all required information precisely and
accurately. It will be rooted in the following principles
· Understanding the target audience
Creation of Rapport to deduce the capacity the respondent has
in the firm and their field of specialization.
· Building professional reputation and credibility
During the interaction with the respondents, my conduct would
both be friendly and professional (Davis, 2018). The
professional presentation would make the respondent understand
that giving the information to the right person while being
friendly would make the interactions comfortable and
interesting.
· Consulting the stakeholders
Stakeholders in the firm would give the directions for
undertaking the research; recognizing them through
consultations would make them offer all necessary assistance in
getting the required information.
· Communicating in a clear and understandable language
The use of finance terminology would be used only for the
professionals in the field who understand them, and simple,
understandable language for other respondents.
Effective Presentation
Effective presentation requires uniqueness to keep the audience
on track with the whole presentation topic. Achieving this will
involve bringing the audience to life at the start of the
communication by asking engaging and straightforward
questions about the topic, which would also prepare the
audience for what they expect from the presentation (Lee,
2019). The production would incorporate videos and
prerecorded audio that would help the audience visualize the

presentation’s fundamental interests—minimizing bullet points
and replacing them with more interactive infographics, in
conjunction with building connection points in the presentation
rather than a slide by a slide presentation.
Research questions
What financial planning and forecasting tools are most effective
for small and medium enterprises?
What is the impact of engaging financial consultants in
financial planning and forecasting for small and medium
enterprises in New York?
How long does the implementation of financial planning and
forecasting take to improve small or medium business
performance?
What challenges are associated with the implementation of
financial planning and forecasting among small and medium
enterprises?
Critical Question
Does the implementation of financial planning and forecasting
among small and medium enterprises require a finance expert?
Part II
The possible sources for this research would include previous
research articles about financial planning and forecasting among
small and medium enterprises. Library searching of the articles
ensuring that the sources are credible, reliable, and accurate. I
will also utilize an internet search using google scholar,
considering only articles written in five years, and gauge
information relevance by how realistic the results were and the
application of necessary financial principles.
