What is an
Event Revenue Budget
? Event revenue budgets are considered a key component of an annual budget and are used by venue- and budgeting managers to create a detailed revenue budget by event. Some of the main functionality in this type of input form is that it lists events across the columns and input fields for revenue-generating activities down the rows. On the first row, the user enters estimated attendance for each event and then each revenue item is entered by category. You find an example of this type of input form below.
Purpose of
Event Revenue Budgets Sports organizations and Venues use Revenue Budgets to improve financial planning by event. When used as part of good business practices in Budgeting and Accounting departments, a company can improve its strategic planning and improve budgeting and forecasting accuracy. It can also reduce the chances that off target budgets lead to poor decision-making.
