Overview
In the introduction, we learned about the three functions of Managerial accounting: planning, directing, and controlling. The process of budgeting encompasses two functions; planning and controlling. The master budget is prepared at the beginning of the year as a planning tool to create plans designed to achieve the firm’s goals. The budget is then used at the end of each accounting period to evaluate performance compared to the original plan, which is reflected in the budget. In this assignment, we will explore the many types of budgets and how they are prepared.
