Budgets can be defined as:
“a quantitative model, or summary of the expected consequences of the organization’s short-term operating activities.”
Management Accounting
Atkinson, Banker, Kaplan & Young
The definition suggests:
Availability of quantitative data,
Predictability of short-term outcomes,
Clear-cut organizational structures.
There is one major logical problem, which is?
If the above are true, what do you need the budget for?
The budgetary process is rather a process
To quantify “qualitative” judgment,
To forecast the impacts of some uncertain events,
To simplify the complex organizational structures.

is a communication device involving both vertical and horizontal information transfer
is a negotiation and internal contracting procedure
is part of the performance evaluation system
partition decision rights.
