Chapter 6 - Budgetszzzz
*21) Describe the benefits of preparing an operating budget to an organization.* Objective 6.1
- A well-prepared operating budget should *serve as a guide* for a company to follow during the budgeted period. It is not "set in stone." If new information or opportunities arise the budget should be adjusted. - A well-prepared operating budget *assists management with the allocation of scarce resources*. It can help management see trouble spots in advance, and then management can decide where to allocate its limited resources. - A well-prepared operating budget *fosters communication and coordination among various segments of the company.* The process of preparing a budget requires managers from different functional areas to work together and communicate performance levels they both want and can attain. - A well-prepared operating budget *can become the performance standard against which firms can compare the actual results.*
