4. Explain the importance of a budget and budget control for a business.


A financial plan is often a method of allocating funds for your company based on your
revenue and ongoing costs. It assists in setting wages, estimates expenditures, and
identifies the available capital. A financial plan serves as a standard for setting financial
goals as well as an organizing tool for chores. A budget is valuable because it gives people
the ability to identify and work toward long-term goals. In addition to that, it forces people
to establish plans, budget money, monitor their progress, and bring their dreams to reality.
Planning also gives entrepreneurs the ability to determine the kind of projects they will
undertake based on the resources they have available. Financial plan control is essential for
monetary control since it gives executives the ability to successfully monitor the business's
display. By doing this, it is made sure that any discrepancy between the organization's
actual performance and its projected presentation is continuously examined and can be
addressed before it reaches the point of no return.

5. List two techniques a business can use for maximising budget performance.
 Apply a model budget.
 Make advantage of a budgeting tool.

6. Outline the term budget variance.


Situations in which actual costs are either more notable or less than anticipated, or where
regular expenses are mentioned in books as variations in the financial plan. When incomes
or expenses fall short of projections, there may be a shortage in the financial plan, which
may lead to an unfavorable shift in the spending plan.

7. Document the reporting that is completed for the following cycles/periods and
write down a procedure for each that is relevant to a hospitality business.

8. For two different accounting software programs of your choice, write down at
least one function and one feature of each and how these can help in
monitoring budgets.
The two distinct accounting software applications that are functional and
future-oriented are:

9. What information does an annual financial report contain and how should it be presented?
The pay explanation, which displays incomes, expenses, benefits, and misfortunes, is one
of the annual financial reports' contents. It illustrates the practical consequences of an
organization.➢ The accounting report provides information on an organization's capital
and liquidity by displaying its assets, liabilities, and value as of the disclosure date.➢ The
income statement, which displays the inflows and outflows of funds throughout the
reporting period ➢ The declaration of retained profit, which displays any fluctuations in
value, such as stock offers, profit installments, and changes resulting from good or bad
luck. All of the significant record paperwork and reports that comprise an association's
financial records are included in its annual monetary report. This often includes
information from a single fiscal year, allowing the report to be presented toward the end of
the fiscal year in order to satisfy legal requirements for specific details. Additionally, a
company must maintain financial records that attest to its financial activities and fulfill any
obligations it may have to disclose financial information to investors or senior
management. An organization may also choose to produce a financial report more
frequently, say once every quarter, in order to collect financial data more consistently and
do financial analysis, such as tracking pay and benefits or calamities.

10. Discuss how a business will show the findings of the projected budget versus
the actual budget and how this might be presented.

Real correlation is essential for small businesses because it enables them to adjust their
financial plans going forward based on the data they receive from month-to-month reports.
Independent business owners are able to identify areas in which their budget needs to be
improved and areas where it is currently enough. Projected costs are those that are anticipated
based on transactions and expenses from previous periods. Conversely, the aggregates that were

actually invested throughout the energy phase take care of the legitimate uses. At the end of
that period, organizations will compare actual consumption with projected costs to determine
whether they overspent.

2. Carefully read the following scenario.

You are the café manager of a popular café within the Blue Healer Hotel and Spa.
The owner has provided you with the budget for the next quarter and it is part of your
responsibility to allocate resources and manage the finances within the budget.
The budget has been increased in month three as this is a popular month where lots of
visitors stay at the Blue Healer and neighbouring guest houses as there is a music festival
on. As such, additional wait staff will be hired on a casual basis and less private catering
jobs will be booked in as the café will be at its peak.

Additional information:
The business uses local suppliers but due to a recent drought the cost of meat with the usual
supplier, Fresh Farms, went up by 7% last month.

SITXFIN009 Manage finances within a budget RTO No:45620 CRICOS No: 03857D Version No 2.0 Date:04042023
24
The café serves breakfast, light meals, light dinners and sharing plates, smoothies, coffee,
pastries and is a local favourite for its homemade iced tea.
Due to the clientele of the hotel and health spa, and the area within which the Blue Healer is
located, there have been a number of requests for more vegetarian and vegan options.
Apart from you and the owner (you also cook and prepare food) there is full-time chef
named Navneet, two part-time kitchen porters and casual wait staff employed.
There has been a pattern of food wastage in the past two months with too much fruit
purchased that spoiled before it could be used as the iced tea became so
popular that not as many smoothies were made and sold.
The food budget has blown out over the past three months, but the owner can’t increase it
as the profit from the café is being invested into building and landscaping works to create
an outside undercover area that will double the capacity of the café.
The business uses Wave Accounting free online software for recording income and
expenditure but makes use of Excel spreadsheets for budgeting and planning purposes.

11. Review past information and future budget and plan fund allocation.

Review the following:


Case study and additional information above Café
Quarterly Budget – budget page
Café Quarterly Budget – past information page
Look at the cost of sales figures related to food and beverage purchases which is the food
and beverage budget that is allocated to you.
Do some research and source some local meat suppliers in your area and check out the
costs of menu items you have planned for previously in the past, or meals you are
familiar with and see what that 7% could look like and the impact over a three-month
period. Bring this information with you to the meeting in the next activity step to provide
recommendations to the owner.
Think about how you can work effectively with the budget allocated to you and the changes
you could make to manage the finances more effectively.
Make notes on your research and findings for use in the following activity.

12. Have a meeting with the owner to discuss the budget and fund allocation.

Now that you have reviewed all the information, have a meeting with the manager
(your assessor) at the date and time advised to discuss any concerns, priorities and changes
you would like to make before you allocate the funds. Review the new suppliers you have
sourced with your assessor.

SITXFIN009 Manage finances within a budget RTO No:45620 CRICOS No: 03857D Version No 2.0 Date:04042023
25
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication skills including:
speaking clearly and concisely
using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding asking
questions to identify required information
responding to questions as required.

13. Allocate funds.

Using the Café Quarterly Budget template – Fund allocation page, allocate the funds for the
quarter to the relevant areas and what you will purchase from existing or new suppliers.
Make notes in the relevant column to support your choice and rationale. Add or delete rows
as necessary and apply cell formatting and the use of formula functions as necessary.
Submit to your assessor.

14. Meet with your team.

Briefly meet with Navneet (your assessor) to discuss the resource allocations and the
planning for the next quarter in relation to fresh produce, reduction of wastage and recipe
variation.
Make sure that you discuss the importance of sticking to the budgeted allocations and
discuss ways that food wastage can be avoided to ensure the budget is met.
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication skills including:
speaking clearly and concisely
using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding asking
questions to identify required information
responding to questions as required.

15. Monitor activities – month 1.

It is the end of month 1. You have kept to the budget and the funds have been allocated as you
planned for.
Using relevant software (such as an accounting program or Microsoft Excel or similar)
and the exact figures from your fund allocation document, enter the
expenses you have incurred over the first month exactly as they are represented in your fund
allocation page of your spreadsheet.
Print a report of the entries or take a screenshot and submit to your assessor.

SITXFIN009 Manage finances within a budget RTO No:45620 CRICOS No: 03857D Version No 2.0 Date:04042023
26
16. Monitor activities – month 2.

It is the end of month 2. You have kept to the overall budget, but funds have had to be
rearranged in the following ways:
There was an accident when unloading the vegetable crate one week and all the produce
was spoiled. You had to purchase a second crate which pushed your amount spent with the
vegetable supplier up by 10%.
To accommodate for the overspend, you reduced the amount spent on cakes and pastries by
that same amount and baked inhouse.
Enter the expenditure figures into the software you are using as outlined in your fund
allocation document but consider the information above and work out the variances.
Print a report of the entries or take a screenshot and submit to your assessor.

17. Monitor activities – month 3.

It is the end of month 3. The following has happened:


Due to recent environmental conditions, less people came to the local area than
planned for and many people cancelled their accommodation at Blue Healer.
Some of the food for the first week had already been ordered and as such – there
was a lot that went to waste. The figures have been calculated for the month based
on 4 weeks. $6000 was spent on food in preparation for the increased numbers but
during the first week there was a total waste of 35%. Many items were able to be
frozen, and as such the budget can be amended for the next quarter to try and
recoup some of the losses. The following three weeks the same amount was spent
as budgeted for the two prior months, being $3,750 per week and a total of $6000
for the month was spent on beverages.
Enter the expenditure figures into the software you are using as outlined in your fund
allocation document but consider the information above and work out the variances.
Print a report of the entries or take a screenshot and submit to your assessor.

SITXFIN009 Manage finances within a budget RTO No:45620 CRICOS No: 03857D Version No 2.0 Date:04042023
27
18. Develop an actual budget from the past three months.

Develop an actual budget using the past information and your financial records you
complied and submitted in the previous activity steps. Make a new page in the Café
Quarterly Budget spreadsheet and name it ‘Actual Budget’.
Assume the following information:
Variances of 10% are not considered unusual. The
actual income is as follows:

Account Month 1 Month 2 Month 3

Income

Food sales 36,500 35,800 34,000

Beverage sales 23,000 24,500 21,000

Catering fees 10,000 10,200 7,200

Total income 69,500 70,500 62,200

The operating expenses are all correct.


Submit to your assessor. Your assessor will provide you timelines for completing this task
which you must adhere to, and you will be assessed on this.

19. Conduct research and write a budget report.

Compile a report to the owner about what has occurred over the past three months. You will
also need to conduct some research when writing this report as outlined below. Submit in the
timeframe as provided to you by your assessor.
Include the following in your report:
The status of the budget and the variations in relation to what was projected – use
percentages and figures to discuss a detailed account of what has occurred in the overall
actual budget in relation to projections.
Lessons learned from what has occurred in the past quarter and ideas for how you can
prevent similar situations in the future by improvements that can be made.
Undertake research to investigate new or different approaches to budget management and
then outline the benefits and advantages of different approaches you could take and how
these approaches may impact on customer service levels or staff.
Provide recommendations for budget management for the next quarter and provide estimates for this
period.
