Loner Sownce TE BUDGETING
Planning is the comerstone of effective management. Planning refers to the process of setting goals and
objectives for a firm, Budgeting is the process of formalizing plans and committing them to written
financial terms. The result of the process is a budget which is a financial plan for the future based on a
single level of activity. ‘The use of budgets to control a firm’ s activities is known as budgetary control.
A budgeting system must have elements of both planning and control. Planning involves developing
objectives and preparing various budgets to achieve these objectives. Control involves the steps taken by
management to attain the objectives that were set during the planning process and to ensure that all parts of
the firm are working toward that goal,
Planning and Time
Plans can be identified by time horizons - short, medium and long-term.
Strategic Plan - the most forward looking budget (long-term plan). It forms the basis for the development of
programmes. It sets overall goals and objectives for the firm (SWOT analysis). This produces forecasted
financial statements for five ten-year periods, including design and location of new plants, addition and
deletion of product lines, and acquisition and disposal of equipment.
Programme - a medium-term (2-5 yrs) statement of activities/ steps needed to accomplish a single-use plan.
Budgeting - short-term planning process (12 mths) to co-ordinate and control the programmes identified.
Objectives of Budgeting - (1) Planning, (2) Co-ordination, (3) Communication, (4) Motivation, (5) Control,
(6) Performance Evaluation and (7) Authorization,
Human factors in budgeting:
Problems in budgeting: (1) lack of management commitment, (2) creation of inflexibility, (3) behavioural
responses, (4) conflict between short-term and long-term objectives, and (5) goal incongruence.
Budget Styles: (1) Imposed - key decisions made by top management. Top-down approach. Easy to
implement, unbiased towards certain departments and facilitates co-ordination, Cuts out expertise of
lower-level employees.
(2) Participative - Bottoms up approach. Used in decentralized firms where budget is built upward.
Leads to high degree of motivation, utilizes knowledge of what might or might not be feasible. It can
‘encourage bias and excessive claims from individuals.
(3) Negotiated - a combination of the other two approaches. It attempts to achieve both imposed and
participative styles while avoiding some of the obvious disadvantages. It is difficult and time-
consuming.
Budget Committee - responsible for overall policy matters relating to the budget programme and for
coordinating the preparation of the budget. It includes the CEO, financial controller and heads of
departments or divisions. The committee (1) resolves difficulties and disputes among the segments of
the firm, with respect to budget, (2) approves the final budget and (3) receives the periodic report on
the progress of the firm in reaching the budgeted goals.
Preparing the Budget
Master Budget - comprehensive set of all budgetary schedules and the pro forma financial statements of the
firm, The master budget sets the target for sales, production, distribution and financing activities. Usually
ends with a cash budget, a budgeted income Statement and a budgeted balance sheet. The sales budget is the
starting point and its data is used to prepare the production budget, Some of the data from the sales budget
goes directly to the budgeted income statement, cash budget and the selling and administrative budget. The
production budget provides data for the raw materials budget, direct labour budget, manufacturing overheadbudget and the selling and administrative budget. These four budgets then provide data for the cash budget
and the data from the cash budget is used in the budgeted balance sheet.

Tae production budget will determine the purchases of raw materials budget. Only manufacturing firms
have direct materials budget, other firms have purchases budget. The Direct Materials budget is usually
associated with a Schedule of Expected Cash Disbursements for raw materials, This data is used in

‘materials in prior periods and are currently due for payment.
