Book announcement: Practical Handbook on Expectation-Consistent Planning and Future Performance Planning

Erwartungstreue Planung und Zukunftserfolgsplanung

Table of Contents

In an increasingly volatile and crisis-prone world, traditional deterministic management planning is reaching its limits. Target-value-oriented planning systematically ignores risks and uncertainties, which has significant consequences for the management, monitoring, and valuation of companies.

With the Practical Handbook on Expectation-Consistent Planning, the first practical guide is being published that shows how expectation-consistent, risk-integrated future performance planning is implemented in practice.

The focus is on translating a management plan into an expectation-value-based plan that is methodologically consistent and meets increased regulatory requirements.

🔍 What readers can expect:

– Derivation of expectation-consistent planning values from the requirements of IDW ES 1, as they underpin the value concepts of the objectified enterprise value and the plausibilised decision value.
– Classification of expectation-consistent planning within the legal framework for risk and crisis early detection, as required by Sections 91 and 93 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and Section 1 of the StaRUG.
– Case study showing how, in practice—especially in the SME sector—existing plans are identified and step by step converted into expectation-consistent planning values.
– An approach that not only explains why expectation-consistent planning is necessary, but also how it can be applied in practice.

🎯 Target audience

…. and anyone who understands corporate planning as a robust basis for decisions, valuations, and oversight.

A book for everyone who wants to rethink planning: away from target values, towards expected values—sound, practical, and implementable.


The practical handbook was prepared by Professors Dietmar Ernst, Joachim Häcker and auditor Sebastian Schmitz, and is used as a case study in the MBA Applied Quantitative Finance.
