THE
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF BUDGETING AT THE ENTERPRISE
Budgeting system for
each company is unique in its kind, since it depends on the specifics.
Budgeting business enterprise makes managers to anticipate problems before they
arise. Due to this, should be minimized unprepared financially unreasonable
decisions. Budgeting system allows you to receive full information about the
necessary financial and material resources, allows to predict periods with
their deficit and take appropriate action (shift in time payments at a later
date, taking loans, increased sales, etc.).
Budgeting is possible only when
well-organized system of transfer of information between departments. Each
employee is responsible for a specific string of private budget should clearly
understand their role in shaping the company's budget as a whole. Comparing
actual results with the planned budget information, you can determine what
costs are significantly different from the plan and require careful analysis,
thus it is advisable to use the method of management by exception. The analysis,
studied the causes of deviations inefficiency. Then decisions to ensure correct
the situation. Can identify the main factors that make budgeting system each
company unique : limitations that affect activities of the company (sales,
production capacity, etc), type of activity, strategic objectives, information
needs of management, the size of the enterprise and control system.
Building a budget
model of must begin with consideration of the most significant constraints
defining performance. The limitations include: existing market volume of
effective demand for products; production capacity, availability of qualified personnel,
the availability of raw materials.
For most companies,
the most significant limitation - the available volume of effective demand,
according to which the budget is formed sales. In this case, all other
components of the budget depends on the sales budget. But such a situation,
characteristic only for the so-called buyer's market, where supply exceeds
demand. Unsaturated markets for other restrictions, for example, production
capacity or availability of raw materials.
Generalizing the
practical experience and techniques of consulting firms can offer the following
structure of the company's budget. The main documents of complex enterprise
budget are: cash flow budget, budget profit / loss; planned aggregate balance
sheet. These planning documents are required. Background information for the
calculation of these budgets are following operating budgets of the Company :
sales (shipment of finished and semi-finished products and the cash flow);
production; inventories; direct materials; overhead cost, direct labor costs,
selling expenses; administrative expenses. Stages of development of the
company's budget. Enterprise budgeting process usually takes place as follows.
First of all, on the basis of economic and financial strategy of the company
formed by the target setting for a specified period of planning (eg, year,
month). These plants can be brought to the marketing department, production
units, planning and economic services, etc. Service managers must ensure that
the target systems.
At the next stage the sales
budget. If a budget is not established, the financial planning (budgeting) is
practically meaningless. Detailed budget of sales generated in the commercial
service of the company (marketing departments, marketing), then enlarged sales
budget is prepared and transmitted to the economic planning department. In
addition, the commercial service generates budget business expenses -
advertising, sales promotion, salary and other selling agents.
On the basis of the sales plan
formed the production plan in real terms, as well as the budgets of inventories
and direct material costs (raw materials), the budget to pay for the direct
costs of raw materials. If we add to these budgets budget overhead cost, the
information received will be sufficient for formation of the production cost of
production. Thus, we can already form part of budget income. Here calculated
budget management costs : depreciation, salaries of administrative staff,
interest on loans, taxes, etc. In the next step is carried out the final formation
of the budget profit and loss, cash flow budget and planned aggregated balance.
Even the most careful design of
the company's budget does not guarantee its execution. That the budget was
executed, you need to implement procedures that will ensure the achievement of
targets. Can single out the following basic procedures for budget execution :
management of contracts, payments, reserves and extraordinary events,
authorization of transactions, checking them against the budget, operational
planning and accounting and fiscal adjustment.
Features of formation of the
company's budget. Central place in the risk assessment at the stage of the
enterprise budget analysis and forecasting occupy possible loss of resources.
Thus there is an occasional, unexpected losses arising from deviations from the
real situation, the intended course of events. Most important in a market
economy is assigned to elements of risk, as the unpredictability of market
condition, demand, prices. At the same time companies have to deal with the
"imposition" of market and nonmarket factors like (breach of contract,
failure to comply with the rules and regulations of economic activity, etc).
Thus, to estimate
the probability of loss due to unexpected developments embodiment, it should be,
above all, to identify all possible risk factors as inherent in general
economic or industrial and commercial activity, and specific. All possible risk
factors in practice divided into two groups: 1) to external risk factors (or
weak signals) are factors that caused reasons not directly related to the
activities of the enterprise, depending on the economic and political situation
in the country, and 2) to the internal risk factors (or strong signals) are
considered factors, the occurrence of which is generated by the activities of
the enterprise, ie risks associated with the object itself. To increase the
flexibility of the enterprise to the influence of external and internal
influences on the necessary steps to develop the budget measures that would
quickly and with minimal losses to offset the negative changes for the company.
When preparing the
budget, it is important to consider the factor units should be coordinated with
the business processes within these units. Deadlines budgets also defines CFO.
He should discuss them directly with each head of the structural unit.
Thus, for the
organization of the system analysis and planning of cash flows in the
enterprise market conditions adequate to the requirements necessary to create a
modern financial management system, based on the development and monitoring of
a hierarchical system of the company's budget. The system allows you to set
budgets and current hard -line monitoring the receipt and expenditure of funds
to create real conditions for the development of an effective financial
strategy.
Typically, the
budget process begins with a sales budget. On the basis of this budget is
determined by the production program of the enterprise, as well as the need for
production facilities, personnel, raw materials costs are calculated on the
service unit. At the next stage the budget cost of production, procurement
budget and other budgets that are part of the operating budget. On the basis of
the operating budget creates financial budget.
Most management
decisions related to the financial activity of the company is taken under risk
due to several factors: the lack of complete information, the presence of
conflicting tendencies, the elements of chance and many others.
In connection with
this problem of valuation and accounting of economic risk becomes important as
part of management theory and practice. Given the instability problem of risk
is important in justifying management decisions not only strategic, but also at
the stage of short-term business planning - in the budgeting process.
Because, as
allocated responsibility between the company depends largely on the
effectiveness of budgeting. In order to properly regulate this process, it is
important to know the basic principles and time. Procedure for reporting
managers and provide for possible errors.
