over a specified forthcoming time period.
1. The act of preparing a budget is called budgeting.
2. The use of budgets to control an organization’s activities is known as budgetary control.

Top-down budgeting
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 10
Advantages of the Bottom-up Budgeting (Self-Imposed Budgets)
1. Individuals at all levels of the organization are viewed as members of the team whose judgments are valued by top management.
2. Budget estimates prepared by front-line managers are often more accurate than estimates prepared by top managers.
3. Motivation is generally higher when individuals participate in setting their own goals than when the goals are imposed from above.
4. A manager who is not able to meet a budget imposed from above can claim that it was unrealistic. Self-imposed budgets eliminate this excuse.

How to overcome problems of self-imposed budgets

Advantages of the Top-down Budgeting
1. Avoid the potential budgetary slack (budget padding).
2. Provide a clearer performance goals and expectations from the top management.
3. May provide better budget due to top management’s access to privileged/confidential market and organization information .
4. Provide an efficient budgetary process.

Budget Lapsing
• A popular method among government agencies, universities and organizations relying on allocated funds.
• Any unused funding at the end of the financial period cannot be carried forward to the following year.
• As a result, the following year’s budget may be cut because of the under-expenditure in the previous year.
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 14
Budget Lapsing: Advantages
• Budget lapsing helps ensure that the appropriate level of resources is utilized in each period. Without budget lapsing, risk-averse managers may unnecessarily accumulate funds and this may adversely affect the performance of the organization.
• It helps provide an opportunity for a clean cut-off of expenditures and to reallocate any unused resources for other more appropriate requirements.
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 15
Budget Lapsing: Potential Problem & Solution
• Budget lapsing can cause undesired behavior effects. For example, managers may wastefully spend their entire budget before the end of the period in order to avoid budget cuts.
• A system of reviewing the expenditures near end of the period may uncover unnecessary expenditures and discourage managers to wastefully spend because of budget lapsing.
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 16
Incremental versus Zero-based Budgets
• Incremental method of budgeting is most commonly used by companies. Companies start off one year’s budget by referring back to the previous year’s figures. Adjustments are then made to the budget to account for the expected changes such as prices for the next year.
• While incremental method of budgeting is practical and fast, any inefficiency in the previous year’s figures may be carried forward. For example, if all along the organization is over staffed, then the budget will continually to be allowing for the over staffing situation under this method.
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 17
Incremental versus Zero-based Budgets
• Zero-Based Budgets are prepared based on the assumption that the company has just started. Therefore, resources required have to be justified from scratch.
• For example, when budgeting for staff cost for a restaurant, managers using the zero-based budgeting approach will ignore the existing staff level and expenses, rather, they will examine factors such as opening hours, number of tables, expected patron numbers to work out the number of staff required at each position and level, hence the associate costs, to produce a budget.
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18
Incremental versus Zero-based Budgets
• Companies using the zero-based method do not simply ignore previous years’ figures. Figures generated by the zero-based method are usually compared with previous years’ figures. Any large differences are investigated.
• As zero-based budgeting is time consuming and costly, companies tend to use this method for the relatively large items and the incremental method for the rest.
McGraw-Hill Education (Asia) Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng & YuenMcGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 19
Top Management Attitude:Human Factors in Budgeting
The success of a budget program depends on three important factors:1.Top management must be enthusiastic and committed to the budget process.2.Top management must not use the budget topressure employees or blame them when something goes wrong. 3.Budget targets should be challenging but achievable in order to have good motivational effects.

Understand the key components of master budget in Manufacturing, Merchandising, and Service Industries
The first step of budgeting for every business is to budget for the revenue, whether it is a sales budget for providing goods or services or a funding budget. Although operational budgets are adapted according to the industries, they are very similar and typically comprise of budgets for •Income statement•Cash•Balance sheet.
The major differences of different industries include:•Manufacturing: production budget is involved•Merchandising: no production budget, only purchase budget of merchandise is required.•Service Industries: budget for revenue and cost of providing services•Not-for-profit: expected funding available and plan usage of funding.

Costs and Benefits of Budgeting
• Budgeting is time-consuming and costly.
• Budgetary slack or padding is an inherent problem of budgeting.
• Despite the drawbacks of budgeting, most companies are still using budgets to plan, communicate, set objectives and allocate resources etc.
• Since budgets are still commonly used, benefits of budgeting are high and drawbacks of budgeting can be minimized by having a good budgeting system.
• For a good budgeting system, it is critical to have effective communication and mutual trust between the top management and its staff.
