All organizations need to manage performance so that their financial and strategic objectives are achieved and management and financial stakeholders can be confident in the associated control processes. The proper construction and control of budgets is central to this, to safeguard the organization’s viability and the effective delivery of its objectives. This requires a comprehensive financial planning and approval framework; consistent and rigorous processes for constructing budgets, both capital and revenue; sound methodologies for assessing the financial impact of proposed expenditure; compatibility with other management and performance data, and a control system that sets clear responsibilities and produces prompt and accurate monitoring information on performance against budgets.
