CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
OVER VIEW OF THE STUDY
Budgeting is concerned with planning and the implementation of expected income and expenditure for a particular period of time.
There is the need for good planning of budget in every Organization because; any Organization that does not plan and implement its budget is likely to encounter a lot of problems. These problems range from mismanagement of limited resources to management habit of not adhering to budgetary control measures.
Budget and budgetary control are two accounting techniques which top management adopts to achieve its task of planning, co- coordinating directing and controlling in an Organization. Planning is mainly concerned with the future and selection of policies, strategies and actions required to attain these objectives.
Planning was previously based on historical conventions. This process increased the emergency of decisions that top management had to make because, historical cost conventions are future oriented, and they do not aid planning. In order to reduce to management’s emergency decision making process, this and planning variable budget were introduced. This is so because; managers want to know more than they have done in relation to cost period performance. They also want to know how they have done currently in relation to their current targeted performance.
Control on the other hand follows closely after action has been taken. It is a process whereby actual performance is compared with targeted/budgeted performance. Any deviation from this target is investigated for positive explanation.
Budgetary control is the technique use for this purpose and when it is combined with budget, it becomes part of reasonable accounting. This aim of budgetary control is to provide a former basis for monitoring the progress of the Organization as a whole and its components towards the achievement of the objectives specified in the planned budget. Budget enjoys a wide application. It can be used in our private homes where a civil servant who earns monthly income will map out his objectives and a plan effectively with what he has to achieve those objectives.
