INSOLVENCY'S biggest names will be dancing strictly style in a bid to raise money for cervical cancer charity the Debbie Fund.

For one night only eight couples will battle it out including:

* Deloitte partner Louise Brittain with law firm MAB's partner Andrew Bowden-Brown, together they'll be doing the cha cha

* Insolvency trade body president Frances Coulson with TSB head of commercial finance Roger Brown tangoing

* Kingston Smith partner Ian Defty and MHA MacIntyre Hudson director Georgina Eason foxtrotting

* And Smith & Williamson partner Finbarr O'Connell with MHA's corporate recovery manager Jessica Kane - they'll be re-enacting Pulp Fiction.

If that's not enough...

The winners will receive a glitterball trophy and all costumes have already been worn on BBC's strictly come dancing.

Although TS understands that Simon Cowell's diary is packed, former strictly contestant Laila Rouass and ex-Eastender Natalie Cassidy will give judges comments, while BBC's Bleak House actor Nathaniel Parker will co-host the event alongside MAB partner Christina Fitzgerald - who's the brain child behind the event.

Organised by R3, apparently they'll be a group dance off then individual show downs. Each person who attends the event will be able to make a donation and vote for their favourite couple. The couple with the most money wins.

The TS desk is rubbing its hands with glee and trying to plot ways to sneak a cameraman into the event.

Why budgeting fails: One management system is not enough

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
