- Budgets and strategic planning
Pages 187-195 in Chapter 6 explore the role that budgets play within the strategic planning process. The authors also introduce the planning and control process.
- Budgets for performance evaluation
Pages 196-222 in Chapter 6 examine the intricacies of budgets, including the process through which they are developed. It is important to understand how budgets can be used to evaluate performance.
Pages 2329-254 in Chapter 7 discuss the process of analysing variations within budgets. The differences from original budget figures and actual figures must be examined in order to understand what changes occurred and what can be done to rectify the situation-namely, to reduce or eliminate the variation.
- Effective budgetary control
Pages 254-259 in Chapter 7 explore how organisations need to develop systems that support the budget process and how information is collected and reported. The authors also discuss behavioural aspects of management styles.
Pages 260-268 in Chapter 7 examine how standards for costs, revenues, and quantities are developed by organisations when developing budgets. The reading also addresses considerations when using standards and problems that may occur.
