    It is not really that VFM makes budgeting difficult but that it is always difficult for a not for profit organization – mainly because they have multiple objectives.

    As I wrote before, it is not really that VFM itself makes budgeting difficult. But whereas a profit earning business is primarily budgeting on the profit figures, a not-for-profit business (such as state hospitals) are not budgeting for profit and have to budget on saving money but at the same time improving/maintaining effectiveness. These two tend to conflict and it means striking a balance – that is where the main difficulty lies.
