#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Financial Projection Report** module is used to generate a comparative report between the **Financial Projection (Forecast)** and the **Actual** realization in a matrix format. This report is very useful for evaluating how accurate the financial forecast was when compared to the performance that actually occurred.

### **1. Report Parameters (Matrix Financial)**

#### **Additional Button Functions**

#### This module also has several buttons with advanced functions:

- #### **Upload Data**: This button is likely used to upload financial projection data in a matrix format (e.g., from an Excel file) directly into the system. ![image.png](https://manual.kokola.co/uploads/images/gallery/2025-07/scaled-1680-/aeLimage.png)

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### This report is different from a "Budget VS Actual" report. This report measures how accurate your **forecast** was, whereas "Budget VS Actual" measures performance against a **target (budget)**.
- #### To obtain an accurate report, ensure that the data in the **Financial Projection** module (for the Financial Projection side) and all actual transactions have been entered correctly.
- #### Use the **Type** filter to change how data is presented according to your analysis needs (e.g., **By Monthly** to see the trend of forecast accuracy from month to month).
