2/6/02W. Bentz5 Benefits of Effective Budgets  The benefits of profit planning depend on:  The environment in which the organization operates  The time and effort devoted to the planning process  The extent to which management goals and objectives are reflected in the plans  The extent to which management utilizes the plans

2/6/02W. Bentz6 Benefits of Effective Budgets  Improved performance relative to goals  Improved performance evaluation processes  Improved coordination & communication  Lower risk and lower cost of capital

Bentz9 Steps in Budgeting Process 8.Prepare cost budgets for other expense categories 9.Determine billing and cost rates 10.Prepare more detailed sales and inventory budgets based on matching sales plans with production plans 11.Prepare cost of goods sold budgets 12.Prepare budgeted financial statements

2/6/02W. Bentz10 Risk factors  The predictability of demand is a key factor in the usefulness of financial budgets. Demand drives action.  Stability of suppliers, employees, and facilities influence risk  Financial health is key to the achievement of other objectives

2/6/02W. Bentz11 Other Considerations  Different budgets of the same areas may exist for different purposes. The revenue budget used for cash flow and financing purposes may be more conservative than the sales budgets (targets) given to the sales force, for example.

2/6/02W. Bentz12 Misuse of Budgets  Budgets get a bad name because they can be used by management to brow- beat subordinates and justify non- support of projects, etc.  I believe in open communication of budgets and fair, honest treatment of managers. People tend to be more suspicious than selfish!
