Fruitticher – Budget practces case studies
Budgetng is one of the fundamental decisioni-making processes in organizatons. During budget
formulaton, ofcials determine the proporton of the organizaton’s resources that the manager of
each unit will be authorized to spend… budgets ofen establish performance goals for the unit in
terms of costs, revenues and/or producton.
Typically, budgets are used to flter and analyze informaton throughout the organizaton, not
necessarily to create more informaton for disseminaton. The budgetng process utlizes what
informaton is already available.
Gruen; chapter 7
A budget can be defned as a management tool used to relate planned resource consumpton to a
period of tme. It is a planning and a control tool. The play a role in the strategic framework of the
organizaton. A set of budgets is constructed to translate the strategic objectves into detailed
operatonal plans. A Budget of the hospital will be make up department budgets which are in turn
collected with the income budget to form a master budget for the hospital. The three main features
of a budget are:
It is a plan that is developed before an event has occurred.

an organizaton, which combines the functonal budgets, the capital budget and the cash fow budget
with the budgeted income statement and balance sheet for the forthcoming period. Not summing up
everything.
The master plan becomes the plan for everything an organizaton will be doing during the
coming year and it is prepared each year.
The main elements of the master budget are the operatng budget and the fnancial budget.
All parts can be part of a budget, but it can be either a line or a separate sheet of the budget.
Unless there are governmental regulatons, budgets difer per organizaton.
This budget may be translated into a forecast income statement and a forecast balance
sheet: It shows the planned positon at the end of the budget period, representng stocks.

projectons of expected producton quanttes. E.g. how much patent going to be treated or
how much hospital days you account.

organizaton, that is items relatng to the operatonal actvites of the organizaton. The plan

i- Income budgets: Budget to show the planned levels of actvity and the
associated sources of income over the budget period. How much income you
