What this shows: how I reforecast corporate overhead mid-year: six months of actuals plus a driver-based forecast for the rest of the year, by department and expense category, with a bridge to budget and a scenario planner for the levers leadership actually asks about. All data is generated sample data for a made-up firm.
Bars above the line add cost versus budget; bars below save cost.
H1 = Jan–Jun actuals. H2 = Jul–Dec forecast.
