Generating a budget is complex undertaking‚ and for a budget to be effective the organization ought to follow it strictly. However‚ no matter how closely a business follows their guidelines there will always be some form of variances. The organization should expect a few variances and be able to work these discrepancies in any budget constraints. Managing the Budget within the Forecast: According to Finkler‚ Kovner and Jones‚ (2007)‚ organizations exercise control over operations through the use

From the Management’s point of view “What a product should have costed” is more important than “What did it cost?” Standard costs are compared with the actual costs to find out the differences between the two. The differences or variances so obtained are analysed to determine the efficiency of operations‚ so that necessary remedial action may be taken‚ immediately. To plan what should be the cost‚ before production is made‚ is the Underlying idea of Standard Costing. Management
