Budget

Cchan6y ago
Good day sir. Is the "control" in Budget objectives , somehow linked to management accounting control system? is the 'control' relate to the issues of responsibility accounting, like 'controllability principle'? i dont quite get this part. besides, the 'performance measurement' is as well linked to the "control" part right sir? for budgetary control, it provides a mean to compare actual and budget performance but for performance measurement, it provides a mean to manager to indicate how well they have performed based on the "control" outcome Thank you Sir John.

I explain what is meant by 'control' in my free lectures on budgeting. Being able to compare actual costs with budgeted costs (as in variance analysis) is a way of being able to exercise control over the costs. That is an aspect of the management accounting control system.
