Kostenüberschreitungen bei Eventbudget und Lieferanten

Definition

Australian large‑event experts emphasise detailed budgeting, contingency planning and continuous monitoring of spend to avoid overspending and unexpected costs.[2] Fundraising checklists similarly recommend early selection of suitable software for ticketing and budgeting to manage costs tightly.[3] In practice, when guest numbers are confirmed late, charities often lock in higher catering numbers than required to comply with venue minimum spends and avoid perceived contractual breaches. This, combined with insufficient tracking of add‑ons (AV, décor, printing, merchandise), creates systematic cost overruns. Industry benchmarks for corporate and fundraising events typically see 5–15% budget overrun where no active budget monitoring or commitment control is in place, often equating to AUD 10,000–50,000 on a AUD 300,000–400,000 gala. When fundraising services run multiple events, annual waste can easily exceed AUD 100,000 in avoidable spend.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Philanthropic event providers in Australia 🇦🇺 routinely overspend AUD 10,000–50,000 per major event on unused catering, AV add‑ons and last‑minute changes. Automated budget tracking, forecast‑vs‑actual reporting and vendor commitment controls reduce these cost overruns.
