SUMMARY
SUMMARY
• Budgeting is a process whereby future income and expenditure are
decided in order to streamline the expenditure process. Budgeting is
done in order to keep track of the expenditures and income. It
serves as a monitoring and controlling method in order to manage
the finances of a business.
• Budgeting process is very crucial for any business entity. Without a
proper budget, a business can never keep track of how much it has
earned and how much it has spent. Budget serves a great guide by
which a business can oversee its income stream and can identify
potential dangers to it beforehand. Furthermore, budget acts as a
valuable tool in order to take control of how a business spends. A
budget makes sure that all the money is being spent in the right
direction and financial goals are attained.
SUMMARY
• Every company should have a well-thought-out budget that considers
the goals of the company, the motivation of employees and the financial
limitations of the company. Additionally, the company should consider
both the previous financial and business activities of the company as
well as the goals the company holds for the future
• The basic steps to follow when preparing a budget:
• Update budget assumptions.
• Review bottlenecks
• Available funding.
• Step costing points.
• Create budget package.
• Issue budget package.
• Obtain revenue forecast.
• Obtain department budgets.
• Review the budget.
• Process budget iterations.
• Issue the budget.
• Load the budget.
SUMMARY
• Creating a budget is not just an exercise that the CFO gives to the managers of
the company to provide busy work to those already very busy. A budget is a
comprehensive financial plan for achieving the financial and operational goals of
an organization. Used correctly, a budget is the map of the company’s strategic
plan. In creating the budget, the company is developing its objectives for the
acquisition and use of its resources. Once in place, it becomes a valuable
benchmark to determine how well the steps taken by management are ensuring
objectives are attained.
• Why Is Budgeting Important? There are many benefits derived from budgeting.
It formalizes the coordination of activities between departments while aligning
these activities to the big picture – the company’s strategic plan. It provides the
assignment of decision-making responsibilities and enhances management’s
responsibility. With a solid plan in place, all decision makers are working towards
the same goal. In addition, the budget improves performance evaluations –
providing a common base for discussion on how well the manager met his goals
and providing a talking point concerning why actual results veered from the
original budget. It encourages all areas within the business to become more
efficient, which rolls up to a greater efficiency company-wide.
SUMMARY
• Capital budgeting is the process in which a business determines and
evaluates potential large expenses or investments. These expenditures and
investments include projects such as building a new plant or investing in a
long-term venture. Often, a company assesses a prospective project's
lifetime cash inflows and outflows to determine whether the potential
returns generated meet a sufficient target benchmark, also known as
"investment appraisal.“
• Most business’ future goals include expanding their operations. This is
difficult to do if the company doesn’t have enough capital or fixed assets.
That is where capital budgeting comes into play.
• Capital budgets or capital expenditure budgets are a way for a company’s
management to plan fixed asset sales and purchases. Usually these budgets
help management analyze different long-term strategies that the company
can take to achieve its expansion goals. In other words, the management
can decide what assets it might need to sell or buy in order to expand the
company. To make this decision, management typically uses these three
main analyzes in the budgeting process: throughput analysis, cash flows
analysis, and payback analysis.
INTRODUCTION TO BUDGETING AND BUDGETING PROCESSES
Section 1
THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Time and money are scarce resources
to all individuals and organizations;
the efficient and effective use of
these resources requires planning.
Planning alone, however, is
insufficient.
• Control is also necessary to ensure
that plans actually are carried out. A
budget is a tool that managers use to
plan and control the use of scarce
resources. A budget is a plan showing
the company’s objectives and how
management intends to acquire and
use resources to attain those
objectives.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Companies, nonprofit organizations,
and governmental units use many
different types of budgets.
• Responsibility budgets are designed
to judge the performance of an
individual segment or manager.
• Capital budgets evaluate long-term
capital projects such as the addition
of equipment or the relocation of a
plant.
• The planned operating budget helps
to plan future earnings and results in
a projected income statement.
• The financial budget helps
management plan the financing of
assets and results in a projected
balance sheet.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• The budgeting process involves
planning for future profitability
because earning a reasonable
return on resources used is a
primary company objective. A
company must devise some
method to deal with the
uncertainty of the future. A
company that does no planning
whatsoever chooses to deal with
the future by default and can
react to events only as they
occur. Most businesses, however,
devise a blueprint for the actions
they will take given the
foreseeable events that may
occur.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Companies can use budget-to-actual
comparisons to evaluate individual
performance. For instance, the standard
variable cost of producing a personal
computer at IBM is a budget figure. This
figure can be compared with the actual
cost of producing personal computers to
help evaluate the performance of the
personal computer production
managers and employees who produce
personal computers.
• Many other benefits result from the
preparation and use of budgets. For
example: (1) businesses can better
coordinate their activities; (2) managers
become aware of other managers’
plans; (3) employees become more cost
conscious and try to conserve
resources; (4) the company reviews its
organization plan and changes it when
necessary; and (5) managers foster a
vision that otherwise might not be
developed.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• The planning process that results in a formal
budget provides an opportunity for various
levels of management to think through and
commit future plans to writing. In addition, a
properly prepared budget allows management
to follow the management-by-exception
principle by devoting attention to results that
deviate significantly from planned levels. For
all these reasons, a budget must clearly reflect
the expected results.
• In fact, the less stable the conditions, the
more necessary and desirable is budgeting,
although the process becomes more difficult.
Obviously, stable operating conditions permit
greater reliance on past experience as a basis
for budgeting. Remember, however, that
budgets involve more than a company’s past
results. Budgets also consider a company’s
future plans and express expected activities.
As a result, budgeted performance is more
useful than past performance as a basis for
judging actual results.
Budget Provides an opportunity of
management to think for

Management uses the
management-by-exception
principle, i.e. clearly reflects
expected results.
Budget stabilize operating
conditions with greater
reliance.
Budget involves more than
company’s past results. Budget

expected activities.
THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• A budget should describe management’s
assumptions relating to: (1) the state of the
economy over the planning horizon; (2) plans
for adding, deleting, or changing product
lines; (3) the nature of the industry’s
competition; and (4) the effects of existing or
possible government regulations. If these
assumptions change during the budget
period, management should analyze the
effects of the changes and include this in an
evaluation of performance based on actual
results.
• Budgets are quantitative plans for the future.
However, they are based mainly on past
experience adjusted for future expectations.
Thus, accounting data related to the past play
an important part in budget preparation. The
accounting system and the budget are closely
related. The details of the budget must agree
with the company’s ledger accounts. In turn,
the accounts must be designed to provide the
appropriate information for preparing the
budget, financial statements, and interim
financial reports to facilitate operational
control.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Management should frequently
compare accounting data with
budgeted projections during the budget
period and investigate any differences.
Budgeting, however, is not a substitute
for good management. Instead, the
budget is an important tool of
managerial control. Managers make
decisions in budget preparation that
serve as a plan of action.
• The period covered by a budget varies
according to the nature of the specific
activity involved. Cash budgets may
cover a week or a month; sales and
production budgets may cover a
month, a quarter, or a year; and the
general operating budget may cover a
quarter or a year.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Budgeting involves the coordination of
financial and nonfinancial planning to satisfy
organizational goals and objectives. No
foolproof method exists for preparing an
effective budget. However, budget makers
should carefully consider the conditions that
follow:
• Top management support All management
levels must be aware of the budget’s
importance to the company and must know
that the budget has top management’s
support. Top management, then, must clearly
state long-range goals and broad objectives.
These goals and objectives must be
communicated throughout the organization.
Long-range goals include the expected quality
of products or services, growth rates in sales
and earnings, and percentage-of-market
targets. Overemphasis on the mechanics of
the budgeting process should be avoided.

i.e. quality of products/services,

These goals and objectives must be
communicated throughout the
organization
THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Participation in goal setting
Management uses budgets to show how
it intends to acquire and use resources
to achieve the company’s long-range
goals. Employees are more likely to
strive toward organizational goals if they
participate in setting them and in
preparing budgets. Often, employees
have significant information that could
help in preparing a meaningful budget.
Also, employees may be motivated to
perform their own functions within
budget constraints if they are
committed to achieving organizational
goals.
• Communicating results. People should
be promptly and clearly informed of
their progress. Effective communication
implies (1) timeliness, (2) reasonable
accuracy, and (3) improved
understanding. Managers should
effectively communicate results so
employees can make any necessary
adjustments in their performance.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Flexibility. If significant basic
assumptions underlying the budget
change during the year, the planned
operating budget should be restated.
For control purposes, after the actual
level of operations is known, the actual
revenues and expenses can be
compared to expected performance at
that level of operations.
• Follow-up. Budget follow-up and data
feedback are part of the control aspect
of budgetary control. Since the budgets
are dealing with projections and
estimates for future operating results
and financial positions, managers must
continuously check their budgets and
correct them if necessary. Often
management uses performance reports
as a follow-up tool to compare actual
results with budgeted results.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• The term budget has negative
connotations for many employees.
Often in the past, management has
imposed a budget from the top without
considering the opinions and feelings of
the personnel affected. Such a
dictatorial process may result in
resistance to the budget. A number of
reasons may underlie such resistance,
including lack of understanding of the
process, concern for status, and an
expectation of increased pressure to
perform. Employees may believe that
the performance evaluation method is
unfair or that the goals are unrealistic
and unattainable. They may lack
confidence in the way accounting
figures are generated or may prefer a
less formal communication and
evaluation system. Often these fears are
completely unfounded, but if
employees believe these problems
exist, it is difficult to accomplish the
objectives of budgeting.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Problems encountered with such
imposed budgets have led
accountants and management to
adopt participatory budgeting.
Participatory budgeting means
that all levels of management
responsible for actual
performance actively participate
in setting operating goals for the
coming period. Managers and
other employees are more likely
to understand, accept, and
pursue goals when they are
involved in formulating them

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Within a participatory budgeting
process, accountants should be
compilers or coordinators of the
budget, not preparers. They should be
on hand during the preparation process
to present and explain significant
financial data. Accountants must
identify the relevant cost data that
enables management’s objectives to be
quantified in dollars. Accountants are
responsible for designing meaningful
budget reports. Also, accountants must
continually strive to make the
accounting system more responsive to
managerial needs. That responsiveness,
in turn, increases confidence in the
accounting system.

THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL
• Although many companies have used
participatory budgeting successfully,
it does not always work. Studies have
shown that in many organizations,
participation in the budget
formulation failed to make
employees more motivated to
achieve budgeted goals. Whether or
not participation works depends on
management’s leadership style, the
attitudes of employees, and the
organization’s size and structure.
Participation is not the answer to all
the problems of budget preparation.
However, it is one way to achieve
better results in organizations that
are receptive to the philosophy of
participation.

THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET
Section 2
THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET
• Many organizations prepare budgets that they use as a method of
comparison when evaluating their actual results over the next year.
• The process of preparing a budget should be highly regimented and follow
a set schedule, so that the completed budget is ready for use by the
beginning of the next fiscal year. Here are the basic steps to follow when
preparing a budget:
THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET
1. Update budget assumptions.
Review the assumptions about the
company's business environment
that were used as the basis for the
last budget, and update as
necessary.
2. Review bottlenecks. Determine
the capacity level of the primary
bottleneck that is constraining the
company from generating further
sales, and define how this will
impact any additional company
revenue growth.
3. Available funding. Determine the
most likely amount of funding that
will be available during the budget
period, which may limit growth
plans.

4. Step costing points. Determine
whether any step costs will be incurred
during the likely range of business
activity in the upcoming budget period,
and define the amount of these costs
and at what activity levels they will be
incurred.
5. Create budget package. Copy forward
the basic budgeting instructions from
the instruction packet used in the
preceding year. Update it by including
the year-to-date actual expenses
incurred in the current year, and also
annualize this information for the full
current year. Add a commentary to the
packet, stating step costing information,
bottlenecks, and expected funding
limitations for the upcoming budget
year.

6. Issue budget package. Issue the
budget package personally, where
possible, and answer any questions from
recipients. Also state the due date for
the first draft of the budget package.
7. Obtain revenue forecast. Obtain the
revenue forecast from the sales
manager, validate it with the CEO, and
then distribute it to the other
department managers. They use the
revenue information as the basis for
developing their own budgets.
8. Obtain department budgets. Obtain
the budgets from all departments, check
for errors, and compare to the
bottleneck, funding, and step costing
constraints. Adjust the budgets as
necessary.

9. Obtain capital budget requests.
Validate all capital budget requests and
forward them to the senior
management team with comments and
recommendations.
10. Update the budget model. Input all
budget information into the master
budget model.
11. Review the budget. Meet with the
senior management team to review the
budget. Highlight possible constraint
issues, and any limitations caused by
funding problems. Note all comments
made by the management team, and
forward this information back to the
budget originators, with requests to
modify their budgets.

and update the budget model with new
iterations as they arrive.
13. Issue the budget. Create a bound
version of the budget and distribute it to
all authorized recipients.
14. Load the budget. Load the budget
information into the financial software,
so that you can generate budget versus
actual reports.

IMPORTANCE OF BUDGETING
Section 3
IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET
The Budget serves several
purposes:
• It is a means for Executive
Management to gain consensus
on how the year’s resources are
going to be allocated towards
realization of the companies
quantifiable goals for the year.
• A Goal Setting Exercise.
• Provides a Metric for Assessing
Company Performance.
• Acts as an Approval Process.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET-
Clearly Defined Goals
• The Financial Goals of the company
need to be defined at the beginning of
the process. A typical goal would be
Revenue Growth at 20%, Net Income
Growth of 10% and Departmental
Operating Expense Growth at varying
growth levels. Typically, depending on
the company, each Division/Department
has different growth expectations
depending on the type of company.
• Businesses that have significant
Research and Development activities,
for example, usually allocate a larger
amount to R&D expenses. The process
of developing the goals begins with an
analysis of the current year’s
performance and an understanding of
what relationships exist to Revenue,
fixed and variable.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET-
Effective Communication
• In order for the Management Team to
be able to translate the goals into an
Operating Budget, effective
communication is imperative. First, a
timetable needs to be developed to set
expectations and to determine
deadlines. A company meeting to
communicate the process is desirable to
ensure everyone receives the same
message. A budget package is
distributed to management with
information to help develop budgets.
The package should contain a rolling
forecast updated with actuals,
employee detail for headcount
planning, the defined goals with
specifics related to each department, a
digital worksheet to aid both the
development of the budget and any
upload or consolidation process, and a
financial calendar which includes
deadlines and responsibilities.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET-
Management Involvement
• For the process to be effective,
Management buy-in is essential both in
the planning process and during the
year to monitor and manage actual
performance. One purpose of the
budgeting exercise is to achieve
consensus by everyone even though
they are all competing for the same
resources. It is not possible for everyone
to be able to add all the headcount they
desire or spend the amount of money
they would prefer. In addition, each
department has a different perspective
on what is necessary to achieve the
company’s goals and the importance of
their contribution. By the end of the
process, everyone will have had to
compromise and should understand
where their interests all intersect with
the company’s goals.

Coordination
• Someone needs to be in charge of
the process and drive towards the
deadlines. It is common for it to fall
within the Chief Financial Officer’s
responsibilities. Absent that position,
at the direction of the COO it usually
belongs in the Controller’s
responsibilities. Preparing the
information for goal setting, creating
the worksheets, consolidating the
information and being available to
facilitate the process are all
responsibilities of this position.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET-
Actual Performance Reporting
• Important to the effectiveness of the
process is regular comparison of
actual performance to the budget. In
addition to the inclusion of budgets in
the financial statement comparisons,
many decisions should be made with
the budget in mind. For example,
headcount additions and fixed asset
acquisitions should be evaluated if
they were not budgeted expenses.
• Many companies allow expenditures
that were approved in the budget
process but require extensive
justification if they were not.

INTRODUCTION TO CAPITAL BUDGETING
Section 4
CAPITAL BUDGETING
• Capital budgeting, which is also called “investment appraisal,” is the
planning process used to determine which of an organization’s long term
investments such as new machinery, replacement machinery, new plants,
new products, and research development projects are worth pursuing. It is
to budget for major capital investments or expenditures.
CAPITAL BUDGETING METHODS
Many formal methods are used
in capital budgeting, including
the techniques as followed:
• Net present value
• Internal rate of return
• Payback period
• Profitability index
• Equivalent annuity
• Real options analysis
Net present value
Internal rate of return
Payback period
Profitability index

Real options analysis
NET PRESENT VALUE
• Net present value (NPV) is used to
estimate each potential project’s
value by using a discounted cash
flow (DCF) valuation. This valuation
requires estimating the size and
timing of all the incremental cash
flows from the project. The NPV is
greatly affected by the discount rate,
so selecting the proper rate–
sometimes called the hurdle rate–is
critical to making the right decision.
This should reflect the riskiness of the
investment, typically measured by
the volatility of cash flows, and must
take into account the financing mix.
INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN
• The internal rate of return (IRR) is
defined as the discount rate that
gives a net present value (NPV)
of zero. It is a commonly used
measure of investment efficiency.
• The IRR method will result in the
same decision as the NPV
method for non-mutually
exclusive projects in an
unconstrained environment, in
the usual cases where a negative
cash flow occurs at the start of
the project, followed by all
positive cash flows. Nevertheless,
for mutually exclusive projects,
the decision rule of taking the
project with the highest IRR,
which is often used, may select a
project with a lower NPV.
PAYBACK PERIOD
• Payback period in capital
budgeting refers to the period of
time required for the return on
an investment to “repay” the
sum of the original investment.
Payback period intuitively
measures how long something
takes to “pay for itself. ” All else
being equal, shorter payback
periods are preferable to longer
payback periods.
• The payback period is considered
a method of analysis with serious
limitations and qualifications for
its use, because it does not
account for the time value of
money, risk, financing, or other
important considerations, such as
the opportunity cost.
PROFITABILITY INDEX
• Profitability index (PI), also
known as profit investment ratio
(PIR) and value investment ratio
(VIR), is the ratio of payoff to
investment of a proposed
project. It is a useful tool for
ranking projects, because it
allows you to quantify the
amount of value created per unit
of investment.
EQUIVALENT ANNUITY
• The equivalent annuity method
expresses the NPV as an
annualized cash flow by dividing
it by the present value of the
annuity factor. It is often used
when comparing investment
projects of unequal lifespans. For
example, if project A has an
expected lifetime of seven years,
and project B has an expected
lifetime of 11 years, it would be
improper to simply compare the
net present values (NPVs) of the
two projects, unless the projects
could not be repeated.
REAL OPTIONS ANALYSIS
• The discounted cash flow methods
essentially value projects as if they were
risky bonds, with the promised cash
flows known. But managers will have
many choices of how to increase future
cash inflows or to decrease future cash
outflows. In other words, managers get
to manage the projects, not simply
accept or reject them. Real options
analysis try to value the choices–the
option value–that the managers will
have in the future and adds these
values to the NPV.
• These methods use the incremental
cash flows from each potential
investment or project. Techniques based
on accounting earnings and accounting
rules are sometimes used. Simplified
and hybrid methods are used as well,
such as payback period and discounted
payback period.
THE GOALS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING
Capital Budgeting, as a part of
budgeting, more specifically
focuses on long-term
investment, major capital and
capital expenditures. The main
goals of capital budgeting
involve:
1. Ranking Projects
2. Raising funds

RANKING PROJECTS
• The real value of capital
budgeting is to rank projects.
Most organizations have many
projects that could potentially be
financially rewarding. Once it has
been determined that a
particular project has exceeded
its hurdle, then it should be
ranked against peer projects (e.g.
highest Profitability index to
lowest Profitability index). The
highest ranking projects should
be implemented until the
budgeted capital has been
expended.

RAISING FUNDS
• When a corporation determines
its capital budget, it must acquire
funds. Three methods are
generally available to publicly-
traded corporations: corporate
bonds, preferred stock, and
common stock. The ideal mix of
those funding sources is
determined by the financial
managers of the firm and is
related to the amount of financial
risk that the corporation is willing
to undertake.
Corporate
bonds
Preferred
stock
Common
stock
RAISING FUNDS
• Corporate bonds entail the lowest
financial risk and, therefore,
generally have the lowest interest
rate. Preferred stock have no
financial risk but dividends, including
all in arrears, must be paid to the
preferred stockholders before any
cash disbursements can be made to
common stockholders; they generally
have interest rates higher than those
of corporate bonds. Finally, common
stocks entail no financial risk but are
the most expensive way to finance
capital projects. The Internal Rate of
Return is very important.
Corporate bond- lowest
financial risk and lowest
interest rate.
Preferred stock have no
financial risk but
dividends, higher interest
rate than corporate bond.
Common stock has no
financial risk but most
expensive way to finance
capital projects
RAISING FUNDS
• Capital budgeting is an important
task as large sums of money are
involved, which influences the
profitability of the firm. Plus, a long-
term investment, once made, cannot
be reversed without significant loss of
invested capital. The implication of
long-term investment decisions are
more extensive than those of short-
run decisions because of the time
factor involved; capital budgeting
decisions are subject to a higher
degree of risk and uncertainty than
are short-run decisions.

ACCOUNTING FLOWS AND CASH FLOWS
• Capital budgeting requires a thorough understanding of cash flow
and accounting principles, particularly as they pertain to valuing
processes and investments.
ACCOUNTING FLOWS
• Accounting is the processes used
to identify and transpose
business transactions into
permanent legal records of a
business’s operations and capital
flows. The International
Accounting Standards (IAS) and
the Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) are
legislative descriptions of
expectations and norms within
the accounting field.
ACCOUNTING FLOWS
Accounting Flows: This chart is a useful way to see the trajectory of accounting
flows as they apply to different types of line items.
Understanding how to report each type of asset, and the impacts these asset
changes have on income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements,
is important in accurately depicting accounting flows.
CASH FLOWS
• A cash flow is one element of
accounting flows, and particularly
important to understanding
capital budgeting. A cash flow
describes the transmission of
payments and returns internally
and/or externally as a byproduct
of operations over time.
Conducting cash flow analyses on
current or potential projects and
investments is a critical aspect of
capital budgeting, and
determines the profitability, cost
of capital, and/or expected rate
of return on a given project,
organizational operation or
investment.
A cash flow describes the
transmission of payments
and returns internally and/or
externally as a byproduct of
operations over time
CASH FLOWS
• Cash flow analyses can reveal the
rate of return, or value of
suggested project, through
deriving the internal rate of
return (IRR) and the net present
value (NPV). They also indicate
overall liquidity, or a business’s
capacity to capture existing
opportunities through freeing of
capital for future investments.
Cash flows will also underline
overall profitability including, but
not limited to, net income.

Management Accounting Chapter 12 : Budgeting

  • 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS • Summary • Introduction to Budgeting and Budgeting Processes • The Steps In Preparing The Budget • Importance of Budgeting • Introduction to Capital Budgeting
  • 4. SUMMARY • Budgeting is a process whereby future income and expenditure are decided in order to streamline the expenditure process. Budgeting is done in order to keep track of the expenditures and income. It serves as a monitoring and controlling method in order to manage the finances of a business. • Budgeting process is very crucial for any business entity. Without a proper budget, a business can never keep track of how much it has earned and how much it has spent. Budget serves a great guide by which a business can oversee its income stream and can identify potential dangers to it beforehand. Furthermore, budget acts as a valuable tool in order to take control of how a business spends. A budget makes sure that all the money is being spent in the right direction and financial goals are attained.
  • 5. SUMMARY • Every company should have a well-thought-out budget that considers the goals of the company, the motivation of employees and the financial limitations of the company. Additionally, the company should consider both the previous financial and business activities of the company as well as the goals the company holds for the future • The basic steps to follow when preparing a budget: • Update budget assumptions. • Review bottlenecks • Available funding. • Step costing points. • Create budget package. • Issue budget package. • Obtain revenue forecast. • Obtain department budgets. • Review the budget. • Process budget iterations. • Issue the budget. • Load the budget.
  • 6. SUMMARY • Creating a budget is not just an exercise that the CFO gives to the managers of the company to provide busy work to those already very busy. A budget is a comprehensive financial plan for achieving the financial and operational goals of an organization. Used correctly, a budget is the map of the company’s strategic plan. In creating the budget, the company is developing its objectives for the acquisition and use of its resources. Once in place, it becomes a valuable benchmark to determine how well the steps taken by management are ensuring objectives are attained. • Why Is Budgeting Important? There are many benefits derived from budgeting. It formalizes the coordination of activities between departments while aligning these activities to the big picture – the company’s strategic plan. It provides the assignment of decision-making responsibilities and enhances management’s responsibility. With a solid plan in place, all decision makers are working towards the same goal. In addition, the budget improves performance evaluations – providing a common base for discussion on how well the manager met his goals and providing a talking point concerning why actual results veered from the original budget. It encourages all areas within the business to become more efficient, which rolls up to a greater efficiency company-wide.
  • 7. SUMMARY • Capital budgeting is the process in which a business determines and evaluates potential large expenses or investments. These expenditures and investments include projects such as building a new plant or investing in a long-term venture. Often, a company assesses a prospective project's lifetime cash inflows and outflows to determine whether the potential returns generated meet a sufficient target benchmark, also known as "investment appraisal.“ • Most business’ future goals include expanding their operations. This is difficult to do if the company doesn’t have enough capital or fixed assets. That is where capital budgeting comes into play. • Capital budgets or capital expenditure budgets are a way for a company’s management to plan fixed asset sales and purchases. Usually these budgets help management analyze different long-term strategies that the company can take to achieve its expansion goals. In other words, the management can decide what assets it might need to sell or buy in order to expand the company. To make this decision, management typically uses these three main analyzes in the budgeting process: throughput analysis, cash flows analysis, and payback analysis.

  • 9. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Time and money are scarce resources to all individuals and organizations; the efficient and effective use of these resources requires planning. Planning alone, however, is insufficient. • Control is also necessary to ensure that plans actually are carried out. A budget is a tool that managers use to plan and control the use of scarce resources. A budget is a plan showing the company’s objectives and how management intends to acquire and use resources to attain those objectives.

  • 10. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Companies, nonprofit organizations, and governmental units use many different types of budgets. • Responsibility budgets are designed to judge the performance of an individual segment or manager. • Capital budgets evaluate long-term capital projects such as the addition of equipment or the relocation of a plant. • The planned operating budget helps to plan future earnings and results in a projected income statement. • The financial budget helps management plan the financing of assets and results in a projected balance sheet. •To judge the performance of manager Responsibility budget •Long term capital projectCapital budgets •Plan future earnings in projected income statement Operating budget •Management plan for assets and projected balance sheet Financial budget
  • 11. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • The budgeting process involves planning for future profitability because earning a reasonable return on resources used is a primary company objective. A company must devise some method to deal with the uncertainty of the future. A company that does no planning whatsoever chooses to deal with the future by default and can react to events only as they occur. Most businesses, however, devise a blueprint for the actions they will take given the foreseeable events that may occur.

  • 12. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Companies can use budget-to-actual comparisons to evaluate individual performance. For instance, the standard variable cost of producing a personal computer at IBM is a budget figure. This figure can be compared with the actual cost of producing personal computers to help evaluate the performance of the personal computer production managers and employees who produce personal computers. • Many other benefits result from the preparation and use of budgets. For example: (1) businesses can better coordinate their activities; (2) managers become aware of other managers’ plans; (3) employees become more cost conscious and try to conserve resources; (4) the company reviews its organization plan and changes it when necessary; and (5) managers foster a vision that otherwise might not be developed. Better coordinate of activities Aware of other managers’ plans More cost conscious and try to conserve resources Reviews its organization plan and changes if necessary Foster a vision Benefits of budget
  • 13. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • The planning process that results in a formal budget provides an opportunity for various levels of management to think through and commit future plans to writing. In addition, a properly prepared budget allows management to follow the management-by-exception principle by devoting attention to results that deviate significantly from planned levels. For all these reasons, a budget must clearly reflect the expected results. • In fact, the less stable the conditions, the more necessary and desirable is budgeting, although the process becomes more difficult. Obviously, stable operating conditions permit greater reliance on past experience as a basis for budgeting. Remember, however, that budgets involve more than a company’s past results. Budgets also consider a company’s future plans and express expected activities. As a result, budgeted performance is more useful than past performance as a basis for judging actual results. Budget Provides an opportunity of management to think for future plan. Management uses the management-by-exception principle, i.e. clearly reflects expected results. Budget stabilize operating conditions with greater reliance. Budget involves more than company’s past results. Budget consider future plans and expected activities.
  • 14. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • A budget should describe management’s assumptions relating to: (1) the state of the economy over the planning horizon; (2) plans for adding, deleting, or changing product lines; (3) the nature of the industry’s competition; and (4) the effects of existing or possible government regulations. If these assumptions change during the budget period, management should analyze the effects of the changes and include this in an evaluation of performance based on actual results. • Budgets are quantitative plans for the future. However, they are based mainly on past experience adjusted for future expectations. Thus, accounting data related to the past play an important part in budget preparation. The accounting system and the budget are closely related. The details of the budget must agree with the company’s ledger accounts. In turn, the accounts must be designed to provide the appropriate information for preparing the budget, financial statements, and interim financial reports to facilitate operational control. The state of the economy over the planning horizon Plans for adding, deleting, or changing product lines The nature of the industry’s competition The effects of existing or possible government regulations Budget as management’s assumptions
  • 15. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Management should frequently compare accounting data with budgeted projections during the budget period and investigate any differences. Budgeting, however, is not a substitute for good management. Instead, the budget is an important tool of managerial control. Managers make decisions in budget preparation that serve as a plan of action. • The period covered by a budget varies according to the nature of the specific activity involved. Cash budgets may cover a week or a month; sales and production budgets may cover a month, a quarter, or a year; and the general operating budget may cover a quarter or a year. • Cover a week or a month Cash budget • A month, a quarter or a year Sales and production budget • A quarter or a year General operating budget
  • 16. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Budgeting involves the coordination of financial and nonfinancial planning to satisfy organizational goals and objectives. No foolproof method exists for preparing an effective budget. However, budget makers should carefully consider the conditions that follow: • Top management support All management levels must be aware of the budget’s importance to the company and must know that the budget has top management’s support. Top management, then, must clearly state long-range goals and broad objectives. These goals and objectives must be communicated throughout the organization. Long-range goals include the expected quality of products or services, growth rates in sales and earnings, and percentage-of-market targets. Overemphasis on the mechanics of the budgeting process should be avoided. Top management support management levels and must be aware of the budget’s importance. Top management must clearly state long-range goals and broad objectives i.e. quality of products/services, growth rate in sales and percentage- of-market-targets. These goals and objectives must be communicated throughout the organization
  • 17. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Participation in goal setting Management uses budgets to show how it intends to acquire and use resources to achieve the company’s long-range goals. Employees are more likely to strive toward organizational goals if they participate in setting them and in preparing budgets. Often, employees have significant information that could help in preparing a meaningful budget. Also, employees may be motivated to perform their own functions within budget constraints if they are committed to achieving organizational goals. • Communicating results. People should be promptly and clearly informed of their progress. Effective communication implies (1) timeliness, (2) reasonable accuracy, and (3) improved understanding. Managers should effectively communicate results so employees can make any necessary adjustments in their performance. Participation in goal setting Communicating results should be promptly and clearly informed Effective communication implies timeliness, reasonable accuracy, and improved understanding.
  • 18. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Flexibility. If significant basic assumptions underlying the budget change during the year, the planned operating budget should be restated. For control purposes, after the actual level of operations is known, the actual revenues and expenses can be compared to expected performance at that level of operations. • Follow-up. Budget follow-up and data feedback are part of the control aspect of budgetary control. Since the budgets are dealing with projections and estimates for future operating results and financial positions, managers must continuously check their budgets and correct them if necessary. Often management uses performance reports as a follow-up tool to compare actual results with budgeted results. Flexibility involve in basic assumptions underlying the budget change during the year Follow-up - Budget follow-up and data feedback are part of the control aspect of budgetary control
  • 19. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • The term budget has negative connotations for many employees. Often in the past, management has imposed a budget from the top without considering the opinions and feelings of the personnel affected. Such a dictatorial process may result in resistance to the budget. A number of reasons may underlie such resistance, including lack of understanding of the process, concern for status, and an expectation of increased pressure to perform. Employees may believe that the performance evaluation method is unfair or that the goals are unrealistic and unattainable. They may lack confidence in the way accounting figures are generated or may prefer a less formal communication and evaluation system. Often these fears are completely unfounded, but if employees believe these problems exist, it is difficult to accomplish the objectives of budgeting. The term budget has negative connotations for many employees Top mgmt. not considering opinion and feeling of affected personnel Resistant to budget Unfair or unrealistic goals and objectives Lack confidence in accounting figures
  • 20. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Problems encountered with such imposed budgets have led accountants and management to adopt participatory budgeting. Participatory budgeting means that all levels of management responsible for actual performance actively participate in setting operating goals for the coming period. Managers and other employees are more likely to understand, accept, and pursue goals when they are involved in formulating them • Adopt participatory budgeting •Participatory budgeting means that all levels of management responsible for actual performance actively participate in setting operating goals.
  • 21. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Within a participatory budgeting process, accountants should be compilers or coordinators of the budget, not preparers. They should be on hand during the preparation process to present and explain significant financial data. Accountants must identify the relevant cost data that enables management’s objectives to be quantified in dollars. Accountants are responsible for designing meaningful budget reports. Also, accountants must continually strive to make the accounting system more responsive to managerial needs. That responsiveness, in turn, increases confidence in the accounting system. Accountants should be compilers or coordinators of the budget, not preparers Accountants must identify the relevant cost data that enables management’s objectives Accountants are responsible for designing meaningful budget reports. Account should make the accounting system more responsive to managerial needs
  • 22. THE BUDGET—FOR PLANNING AND CONTROL • Although many companies have used participatory budgeting successfully, it does not always work. Studies have shown that in many organizations, participation in the budget formulation failed to make employees more motivated to achieve budgeted goals. Whether or not participation works depends on management’s leadership style, the attitudes of employees, and the organization’s size and structure. Participation is not the answer to all the problems of budget preparation. However, it is one way to achieve better results in organizations that are receptive to the philosophy of participation. Participatory budgeting failed to make employees motivated Participation work depends on management’s leadership style, the attitudes of employees, the organization’s size and structure
  • 23. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET Section 2
  • 24. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET • Many organizations prepare budgets that they use as a method of comparison when evaluating their actual results over the next year. • The process of preparing a budget should be highly regimented and follow a set schedule, so that the completed budget is ready for use by the beginning of the next fiscal year. Here are the basic steps to follow when preparing a budget:
  • 25. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET 1. Update budget assumptions. Review the assumptions about the company's business environment that were used as the basis for the last budget, and update as necessary. 2. Review bottlenecks. Determine the capacity level of the primary bottleneck that is constraining the company from generating further sales, and define how this will impact any additional company revenue growth. 3. Available funding. Determine the most likely amount of funding that will be available during the budget period, which may limit growth plans. Steps in budgeting Update budget assumptions Review bottlenecks Available funding
  • 26. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET 4. Step costing points. Determine whether any step costs will be incurred during the likely range of business activity in the upcoming budget period, and define the amount of these costs and at what activity levels they will be incurred. 5. Create budget package. Copy forward the basic budgeting instructions from the instruction packet used in the preceding year. Update it by including the year-to-date actual expenses incurred in the current year, and also annualize this information for the full current year. Add a commentary to the packet, stating step costing information, bottlenecks, and expected funding limitations for the upcoming budget year. Steps in budgeting Step costing points Create budget package
  • 27. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET 6. Issue budget package. Issue the budget package personally, where possible, and answer any questions from recipients. Also state the due date for the first draft of the budget package. 7. Obtain revenue forecast. Obtain the revenue forecast from the sales manager, validate it with the CEO, and then distribute it to the other department managers. They use the revenue information as the basis for developing their own budgets. 8. Obtain department budgets. Obtain the budgets from all departments, check for errors, and compare to the bottleneck, funding, and step costing constraints. Adjust the budgets as necessary. Steps in budgeting Issue budget package Obtain revenue forecast Obtain department budgets
  • 28. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET 9. Obtain capital budget requests. Validate all capital budget requests and forward them to the senior management team with comments and recommendations. 10. Update the budget model. Input all budget information into the master budget model. 11. Review the budget. Meet with the senior management team to review the budget. Highlight possible constraint issues, and any limitations caused by funding problems. Note all comments made by the management team, and forward this information back to the budget originators, with requests to modify their budgets. Steps in budgeting Obtain capital budget requests Update the budget model Review the budget
  • 29. THE STEPS IN PREPARING THE BUDGET 12. Process budget iterations. Track outstanding budget change requests, and update the budget model with new iterations as they arrive. 13. Issue the budget. Create a bound version of the budget and distribute it to all authorized recipients. 14. Load the budget. Load the budget information into the financial software, so that you can generate budget versus actual reports. Steps in budgeting Process budget iterations Issue the budget Load the budget
  • 31. IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET The Budget serves several purposes: • It is a means for Executive Management to gain consensus on how the year’s resources are going to be allocated towards realization of the companies quantifiable goals for the year. • A Goal Setting Exercise. • Provides a Metric for Assessing Company Performance. • Acts as an Approval Process. Executive Management gain consensus on resources and goals A Goal Setting Exercise Metric for Company Performance Acts as an Approval Process.
  • 32. IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET- Clearly Defined Goals • The Financial Goals of the company need to be defined at the beginning of the process. A typical goal would be Revenue Growth at 20%, Net Income Growth of 10% and Departmental Operating Expense Growth at varying growth levels. Typically, depending on the company, each Division/Department has different growth expectations depending on the type of company. • Businesses that have significant Research and Development activities, for example, usually allocate a larger amount to R&D expenses. The process of developing the goals begins with an analysis of the current year’s performance and an understanding of what relationships exist to Revenue, fixed and variable. Clearly Defined Goals Effective Communication Management Involvement Coordination Actual Performance Reporting
  • 33. IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET- Effective Communication • In order for the Management Team to be able to translate the goals into an Operating Budget, effective communication is imperative. First, a timetable needs to be developed to set expectations and to determine deadlines. A company meeting to communicate the process is desirable to ensure everyone receives the same message. A budget package is distributed to management with information to help develop budgets. The package should contain a rolling forecast updated with actuals, employee detail for headcount planning, the defined goals with specifics related to each department, a digital worksheet to aid both the development of the budget and any upload or consolidation process, and a financial calendar which includes deadlines and responsibilities. Clearly Defined Goals Effective Communication Management Involvement Coordination Actual Performance Reporting
  • 34. IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET- Management Involvement • For the process to be effective, Management buy-in is essential both in the planning process and during the year to monitor and manage actual performance. One purpose of the budgeting exercise is to achieve consensus by everyone even though they are all competing for the same resources. It is not possible for everyone to be able to add all the headcount they desire or spend the amount of money they would prefer. In addition, each department has a different perspective on what is necessary to achieve the company’s goals and the importance of their contribution. By the end of the process, everyone will have had to compromise and should understand where their interests all intersect with the company’s goals. Clearly Defined Goals Effective Communication Management Involvement Coordination Actual Performance Reporting
  • 35. IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET- Coordination • Someone needs to be in charge of the process and drive towards the deadlines. It is common for it to fall within the Chief Financial Officer’s responsibilities. Absent that position, at the direction of the COO it usually belongs in the Controller’s responsibilities. Preparing the information for goal setting, creating the worksheets, consolidating the information and being available to facilitate the process are all responsibilities of this position. Clearly Defined Goals Effective Communication Management Involvement Actual Performance Reporting
  • 36. IMPORTANCE OF THE BUDGET- Actual Performance Reporting • Important to the effectiveness of the process is regular comparison of actual performance to the budget. In addition to the inclusion of budgets in the financial statement comparisons, many decisions should be made with the budget in mind. For example, headcount additions and fixed asset acquisitions should be evaluated if they were not budgeted expenses. • Many companies allow expenditures that were approved in the budget process but require extensive justification if they were not.

  • 37. INTRODUCTION TO CAPITAL BUDGETING Section 4
  • 38. CAPITAL BUDGETING • Capital budgeting, which is also called “investment appraisal,” is the planning process used to determine which of an organization’s long term investments such as new machinery, replacement machinery, new plants, new products, and research development projects are worth pursuing. It is to budget for major capital investments or expenditures.
  • 39. CAPITAL BUDGETING METHODS Many formal methods are used in capital budgeting, including the techniques as followed: • Net present value • Internal rate of return • Payback period • Profitability index • Equivalent annuity • Real options analysis Net present value Internal rate of return Payback period Profitability index Equivalent annuity Real options analysis
  • 40. NET PRESENT VALUE • Net present value (NPV) is used to estimate each potential project’s value by using a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation. This valuation requires estimating the size and timing of all the incremental cash flows from the project. The NPV is greatly affected by the discount rate, so selecting the proper rate– sometimes called the hurdle rate–is critical to making the right decision. This should reflect the riskiness of the investment, typically measured by the volatility of cash flows, and must take into account the financing mix.
  • 41. INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN • The internal rate of return (IRR) is defined as the discount rate that gives a net present value (NPV) of zero. It is a commonly used measure of investment efficiency. • The IRR method will result in the same decision as the NPV method for non-mutually exclusive projects in an unconstrained environment, in the usual cases where a negative cash flow occurs at the start of the project, followed by all positive cash flows. Nevertheless, for mutually exclusive projects, the decision rule of taking the project with the highest IRR, which is often used, may select a project with a lower NPV.
  • 42. PAYBACK PERIOD • Payback period in capital budgeting refers to the period of time required for the return on an investment to “repay” the sum of the original investment. Payback period intuitively measures how long something takes to “pay for itself. ” All else being equal, shorter payback periods are preferable to longer payback periods. • The payback period is considered a method of analysis with serious limitations and qualifications for its use, because it does not account for the time value of money, risk, financing, or other important considerations, such as the opportunity cost.
  • 43. PROFITABILITY INDEX • Profitability index (PI), also known as profit investment ratio (PIR) and value investment ratio (VIR), is the ratio of payoff to investment of a proposed project. It is a useful tool for ranking projects, because it allows you to quantify the amount of value created per unit of investment.
  • 44. EQUIVALENT ANNUITY • The equivalent annuity method expresses the NPV as an annualized cash flow by dividing it by the present value of the annuity factor. It is often used when comparing investment projects of unequal lifespans. For example, if project A has an expected lifetime of seven years, and project B has an expected lifetime of 11 years, it would be improper to simply compare the net present values (NPVs) of the two projects, unless the projects could not be repeated.
  • 45. REAL OPTIONS ANALYSIS • The discounted cash flow methods essentially value projects as if they were risky bonds, with the promised cash flows known. But managers will have many choices of how to increase future cash inflows or to decrease future cash outflows. In other words, managers get to manage the projects, not simply accept or reject them. Real options analysis try to value the choices–the option value–that the managers will have in the future and adds these values to the NPV. • These methods use the incremental cash flows from each potential investment or project. Techniques based on accounting earnings and accounting rules are sometimes used. Simplified and hybrid methods are used as well, such as payback period and discounted payback period.
  • 46. THE GOALS OF CAPITAL BUDGETING Capital Budgeting, as a part of budgeting, more specifically focuses on long-term investment, major capital and capital expenditures. The main goals of capital budgeting involve: 1. Ranking Projects 2. Raising funds Ranking Projects Raising funds
  • 47. RANKING PROJECTS • The real value of capital budgeting is to rank projects. Most organizations have many projects that could potentially be financially rewarding. Once it has been determined that a particular project has exceeded its hurdle, then it should be ranked against peer projects (e.g. highest Profitability index to lowest Profitability index). The highest ranking projects should be implemented until the budgeted capital has been expended. Lowest Profitability index Highest Profitability index
  • 48. RAISING FUNDS • When a corporation determines its capital budget, it must acquire funds. Three methods are generally available to publicly- traded corporations: corporate bonds, preferred stock, and common stock. The ideal mix of those funding sources is determined by the financial managers of the firm and is related to the amount of financial risk that the corporation is willing to undertake. Corporate bonds Preferred stock Common stock
  • 49. RAISING FUNDS • Corporate bonds entail the lowest financial risk and, therefore, generally have the lowest interest rate. Preferred stock have no financial risk but dividends, including all in arrears, must be paid to the preferred stockholders before any cash disbursements can be made to common stockholders; they generally have interest rates higher than those of corporate bonds. Finally, common stocks entail no financial risk but are the most expensive way to finance capital projects. The Internal Rate of Return is very important. Corporate bond- lowest financial risk and lowest interest rate. Preferred stock have no financial risk but dividends, higher interest rate than corporate bond. Common stock has no financial risk but most expensive way to finance capital projects
  • 50. RAISING FUNDS • Capital budgeting is an important task as large sums of money are involved, which influences the profitability of the firm. Plus, a long- term investment, once made, cannot be reversed without significant loss of invested capital. The implication of long-term investment decisions are more extensive than those of short- run decisions because of the time factor involved; capital budgeting decisions are subject to a higher degree of risk and uncertainty than are short-run decisions. Capital budgeting decisions are subject to a higher degree of risk and uncertainty than are short- run decisions Long-term investment decisions are more extensive than those of short- run decisions
  • 51. ACCOUNTING FLOWS AND CASH FLOWS • Capital budgeting requires a thorough understanding of cash flow and accounting principles, particularly as they pertain to valuing processes and investments.
  • 52. ACCOUNTING FLOWS • Accounting is the processes used to identify and transpose business transactions into permanent legal records of a business’s operations and capital flows. The International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are legislative descriptions of expectations and norms within the accounting field.
  • 53. ACCOUNTING FLOWS Accounting Flows: This chart is a useful way to see the trajectory of accounting flows as they apply to different types of line items. Understanding how to report each type of asset, and the impacts these asset changes have on income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, is important in accurately depicting accounting flows.
  • 54. CASH FLOWS • A cash flow is one element of accounting flows, and particularly important to understanding capital budgeting. A cash flow describes the transmission of payments and returns internally and/or externally as a byproduct of operations over time. Conducting cash flow analyses on current or potential projects and investments is a critical aspect of capital budgeting, and determines the profitability, cost of capital, and/or expected rate of return on a given project, organizational operation or investment. A cash flow describes the transmission of payments and returns internally and/or externally as a byproduct of operations over time
  • 55. CASH FLOWS • Cash flow analyses can reveal the rate of return, or value of suggested project, through deriving the internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV). They also indicate overall liquidity, or a business’s capacity to capture existing opportunities through freeing of capital for future investments. Cash flows will also underline overall profitability including, but not limited to, net income.
  • 56. CASH FLOWS Cash flows consolidate inputs from the following activities: • 1. Investing activities • 2. Operating activities • 3. Financing activities • Investing activities – Payments related to mergers or acquisitions, loans made to suppliers or received from customers, as well as the purchase or sale of assets are all considered investing activities and tracked as incoming or outgoing cash flows.
  • 57. CASH FLOWS Cash flows consolidate inputs from the following activities: • 1. Investing activities • 2. Operating activities • 3. Financing activities • Operating activities – Operating activities can be quite broad, incorporating anything related to the production, sale, or delivery of a given product or service. This includes raw materials, advertising, shipping, inventory, payments to suppliers and employee, interest payments, depreciation, deferred tax, and amortization.
  • 58. CASH FLOWS Cash flows consolidate inputs from the following activities: • 1. Investing activities • 2. Operating activities • 3. Financing activities • Financing activities – Financing activities primarily revolve around cash inflows from banks and shareholders, as well as outflows via dividends to investors. This includes, payment for repurchase of company shares, dividends, net borrowing and net repayment of debt.
