CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 INTODUCTION
Literature review involved the systematic identification, location and analysis of
document containing information related to the research problem.
Literature review help to sharpen, define and understand the existing knowledge
in the problem under study. This section therefore contain systematic identification about
the subject matter under the following sub>heading concept of budgetary control
A budgetary serve diverse purpose, it can mean different things to different people such
as.
A plan of work
A prediction
A link between financial resources and human behaviors of accomplish objective.
A mechanism for making choice among alternative expenditure in the government a
record of preference that have prevailed in the determination of national policy.
Owoyemi (2006) observe budget as a plan quantified in monetary term prepared
and approved prior to a defined period of time, usually showing planned in come to be
generated or expenditure to be incurred during the period and the capital to be employed
to attain a given objectives.
According to the institute of chartered management accountant (ICMA)
budgetary system represent an amalgamation of three major component part of budgetary
planning, budget and budgetary control.
Budgetary planning is defined as establishment of short term goal designed and
incorporated from the long term corporate objective of an organization such that the short
term goals is based on budget. The word budgetary control is described as the
establishment of executive on the requirement of a policy and the continuous comparison
of actual with budgetary result either to secure by individual action the objective of that
policy or to provide a basis for it revision.

10
Budgetary control has a similar features of variance analysis. It provides a general
means for continuous appraisal of departmental and overall performance. Therefore
budgetary control aims at maximizing the overall profit for the business, it enables the
management to determine in advance level of profit that can be realized.

2.1 PURPOSE OF BUDGETARY CONTROL


Budget is an instrument financial planning and control and has the following
fundamental purpose.
a. COODINATION PURPOSE: Budget assist to coordinate the activity of the
operation through cooperation and exchange of ideas among departments.
b. COMMUNIOCATION: These function aids in information flows through both
upward and downward movement in the organization. Coordination and communication
are performed simultaneously production department require cooperation of sale
department also except the flow of future sales information.
c. COST AWARENESS: Budgeted help manager and others to be cost conscious
and assist in controlling the income and expenditure in any particular period.
d. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: Budgeting control system are also serve as a
means of appraising the performance of the operational result through the comparison of
actual with budgeted figures.
There are other function such as:
_ periodic planning
_ goal oriented and motivation

2.2 THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPAL OF BUDGETARY CONTROL


The establishment of budget which coordinate all the activities of the business
will be the first principle in any organization. Proof to the introduction of budgeting a
profit and loss account prepare on conventional accounting line would show the profit or
loss that had been made in the past periods. This could be weekly, monthly, quarterly or

11
teary the profit or loss recorded by the manager, will then be reviewed by the manager of
the organization so as to establish budget that will coordinate all the activities of the
business.
Recording of actual performances and cost follow the establishment of budget for
examples, statistic of sales performance in respect of volume selling price and pattern of
sales and production performance in respect of output and efficiency can be incorporated
within planned performance and cost in order to calculate in difference and cost variance
followed the recording of actual performance and cost variance are an aliped and
investigated to ascertain the reasons therefore.
Lastly, corrective action should be taken promptly. The action taken on the
variance is possible the most important part of the control mechanism, and this had to be
taken quickly at the right time and in the corrected place.

2.3 OBJECTIVE OF BUDGETARY CONTROL


A budgetary can be defined as the financial activities or qualitative statement in
advance of defined period of time, outlying the policy to be pursued for the purpose of
achieving a given objectives. It may be as are statement of the pan in financial terms.
It coordinates all the activities of the business the corporate plan in an
amalgamation of all the individual functional plans of the organization.
Activities in each section affect the effort of other section and the corporate plan must
cover every fact of the business so that they work toward achieving the same objective .
it
It combine the ideas of all levels of management in the preparation of budget.
Before a budget can be approved, it must have been deliberated upon by managers of the
company. The sales manager will narrate the availability of materials for the products for
the period, while the production manager will expose their capacity in the terms of labour
and machine. Also the opinion of the staff, ranging from junior staff to senior would be
sought, therefore the final approval of the budget.

12
To plan and control income and expenditure so that maximum profitability is
achieved. Since the objective of the business organized has been set based on the income
for a particular period and the relevant amount to be ten for achieving the stipulated
objectives, income and expenditures and controlled and maximum profitability is
achieved.
To direct capital expenditures is the most profitable direct capital expenditure are
always inform of project which involved high amount of money. If a business
organization is not careful, it could run into great loss which can force the company into
liquidation but through budgetary control, capital expenditure is directed into most
profitable direction.
To ensure that sufficient working capital is available for the efficient operation of
the business in the preparation of budget, the objectives to be achieve should have been
established. Therefore the element of working capital which are current asset minus
current liability will be planned in accordance with the objectives in order to achieved an
effective ratio.
To facilitate control and ensure the attainment of the profit and financial object
the control element in budget the variance can therefore be investigated and analyzed to
know the cause and action that are taking at the current time and place profit and
financial objective are therefore attained the control element of the budgetary control.
2.4 ADVANTAGES AND WEAKNESS OF BUDGETARY CONTROL
ADVANTAGES
Many benefit to be derived from budgetary control arise from the fact that policies,
plans and action are co ordinate, integrated to most junior supervisor know the part they
to play to achieve the target set whether bum or recession conduction are being
encountered the best result are likely to be obtained when there is a clear plan action and
there is guiding control through the budget controller .

13
in the measurement of performance production target sales quotes and other
target achieved automatically as part of the system are also controlled the comparison of
the actual with budgeted performance and cost allow the control to the exercise.
Under the suitable conditions, standard costing and budgetary controlling go
hand in hand .the two can harmonizes and make the planning and control more effective.
Details analysis and control possible through standard costing and overall co ordination
and control of budgetary control join to make the almost idea system in order to obtain a
system which is sound effective and flexible enough to encounter all circumstance and
conditions.
Budgeting follows sound management principle delegation of responsibilities is
given positive recognition. The cost variance redial any weakness that exist and the
nature of each weakness variance analysis and management reporting can together reveal
the state of progress any necessary action can be taken quickly and in time to minimum
and performance are maximized this will normally mean that the financial resources will
be used most advantageously.
Budgeting control follow that the most effective uses is made of the productive
resource since cost are kept to a minimum and performance are maximized this will
normally mean that the financial resources will be used most advantageously .
Budgeting aids communication and coordination so that the interest of the
individual manage are subordinated for the interest of the business as a whole the
tendency for empire building is minimized. The master budget bas asset in visualizing
the position of a company at a future point.
The fore if a budget is developed to the fullest it can serve as a simulation, model
a total sometimes called corporate financial planning model.
WEAKNESS
The master budget which assist in visualizing the position of a company may not be
as satisfying as expected.

14
The possible short coming of budgetary control is that too much dependence may
be place on it by the management especially when it is first introduced possibly because
of lack of instruction on the part of budget controller.
On the other hand, the problem of definition of responsibility often there is
overlapping of duties sometime cost are incurred jointly by a number of department so
that allocation of the cost each department will posses a lot of problem.

2.5 TYPES OF BUDGET


The type of budget can be illustrated in two ways, firstly it can be illustrated
inters of time covered by the budget the common types of budget is the annual budget
although it is possible to have budget covering more than one year I addition budget may
be used as tools for long range planning.
Besides, there are capital budget which span overall several years, again we can
have long term budget and perhaps continuous budget some companies distinguish
between planning budgets and control budgets.
For the purpose of this study , we are only identifying short term period budget
which is other wise known as master budget it is usually consist , a statement of cash
receipts and disbursement and supporting schedules.
Conversely, the second illustration of types of budget can be based on the element
contained in the master budget these element are:
A .OPERATING BUDGET
Sales budget
Production budget (for manufacturing companies) the production budget can still be sub
divided into material purchase
Direct manufacturing overhead
Change in investor levels
Cost of good budget (for mechanting and manufactories companies)
Services expenses budget

15
Administrative expenses budget
B . financial budget: it consist of
Cash budget (cash receipt and disloursements )
Budget balance stock
Budgeted statement of source and application of fund
Budgeted statement of changes financial position all categories of budget used above is
dependent on sales budgets, the sales forecast is the starting point for expenses are
general geared to the rate of the activity.
The accuracy for estimated production schedule and cost to be incurred depends on the
depends on the detail and accuracy of the entire master budget. The following factor are
important in sales forecast:
There are:
Past pattern of sale
The estimated made by the sales forces
General economics and competitive conduction
Specific inter relationship of sales and economic indication such as gross national
product or industrial production index
Change in prices
Market research studies
Advertising and sale promotion plans
Sales forecasting usually prepared under the direction of the top sales activities.

2.6 INSTALLATION OF BUDGETARY CONTROL


There are some preliminaries necessary for the installation and operation of a budgetary
control system. These are the creation of budgetary centers of department for each of
created area selected should be comply with the natural responsibilities of the supervisor
and executive.

16
Infect , the accounting system should be agreed with organization structure. This is
next to the creation of budget center. The general instruction in techniques follow the
introduction of accounting record instruction are given to various level of managers on
the technicives of budgetary control but
Care not must be taken so that the responsibility of the manager do not over lap.
The preparation of an organization structure or a view of the existing one follows
of the existing organization structure is suitable for the installation of budgetary control.
Then no action is needed where it does not, it need to be review and with budgetary
control. Budget directors need to be appointed. The budget director is usually the
management accountant or somebody responsible to him. He should provide technical
unbiased help to lines executives. He has overall responsibility for establishing preparing
procedure designing forms. Educating and selling ,collecting and coordinating, verifying
information and reporting performance. He should also have a warm support with line
management . the next thing is the establishment of budget committee , the main function
of the committee are:
_To provide historical information to manager
_To issue instruction regarding budget preparation
_To revives budget and recommend budget for approval
_The preparation of budget manual is next to be established of budget committee:
_ The budget manual of the schedule document, or booklet which show in written from
the budgeting organization and procedures of the contents of the budget manual are:
_Objective of the system
_The reports and relevant policy statement
_Dealing dates and budget for budget proposals
_The account codeine use.
_The determination of budget period and control period are follows:
_The period covered by a budget period some forecast can be made for a relatively by
long period up to ten year or even longer in exceptional circumstances.

17
_While other can safety cover a few month only the identification of keys factors follow
the period. This is the factor that extent of whose influence must first be assed to ensure
that the functional budget are reasonable capable fulfillment. The following are likely
factor.
_Material availability of supply restriction compose by license.
_ Labor general shortage for special skills.
_ Plan due to lack capital due to lack of space bottleneck in certain key processes.
_ Sales market research studies changes in price general economic and competitive
condition advertising and sale promotion plan.
_ Management top level managers operating managers.
_ Money low capital source of finance.

2.7 BUDGETING MANUAL


The budget manuals are the schedule, document or booklet which is in written form,
the budgeting organization: Annual should be well written indexed, and divided into
district sectors, so the each department manager can be issued with the sections
appropriate to his work responsibilities.
The loose _ led types of manual facilities division into section and easy distribution to
the person affected.
Some of the most important matters covered in a budget manual are as follow
_ Introduction and brief explanation of the principles of budgetary control, including its
objectives and benefits to be derives from its use.
_ Explanation of responsibilities functional and departmental i.e. budget centers
organization chart may be woeful in supplementary the description function covered
would included these connected with preparing budget as well as the duties related to
operating the system.
_ Time table for all stages of budgeting to the manager involved.

18
_ Budget period and control period, should be defined as the period covered by the
budget- the length of its being stated.
The procedure to be followed throughout the system many of these procedure will be
covered on connection with responsibilities under budget centers.
The account classification to be employed other review of the turnover classification of
account if use.
Report and statement to be employed these are the specimens turns, number of copies to
be used, the p[purpose of each form and the budget centers involved should all be stated
in new form should be allowed or introduced without the constrict of the budget
committee comprises of
i. the budget director as sectary
ii. The chief executive as chairman
iii. The top line executives
Authority; It normally goes along with responsibilities special attention should be given
to exploring the routine to be followed obtained the necessary approve of budget vouches
and all forms and documents which authorized the spending of money.

Advantage of Manual Budget


These are many advantages attaching to the use of well prepared manual budget.
The problem and difficulties which inevitable rise from the operation of many any
complex system can be settled quickly and easily through manual budget.
Through the manual budget method and procedure become standard sizes of the
organization in the employments control system this practice would simply ensure that
more attention is pay to studying and selecting the most efficient method and procedures.
In another way, through the help of budgetary control the overall coordinated plan
show all personal to what part each manager is expected to play in maximizing profit.

19
Lastly, there is these very important advantage that is well conceived and arranged,
should help to persuade all level of management that budgetary control is worth while
and essential.

2.8 MASTER BUDGET


The master budget summarize the goal of sub unit of an organization i.e. sales,
production, distribution and financial unit. It quantities target for sales, production not
income and cash position and for any other objectives that management specified. The
master budget usually consist of a statement of expected future income.
The principle advantage of building is probably that if forces manager to think ahead
to anticipate and prepare for to visualize the relationship of their department and to other
department and to the company as a whole master budget has to be co ordinate
effectively.
Master budget consolidates an organization overall plans for a short spans of time
and we usually prepared on an quarterly basis for the three remaining quarters.
Step 1: the sales for cast is the starting point for budgeting because inventory level
purchase and operating expenses are generally geared to the rate of sale
Step 2: After sales are budget, the purchases budget may be prepared the total mechanize
needed will be fulfill budgeted sales demand the total need will be particularly net by the
beginning inventory, the reminder must come from planned purchases. Therefore, these
purchases are computed as follow:
Purchase: desired ending inventory cost of goods sold giving inventory.
Step 3: The budgeting of operating expenses is dependent on various factors many
operating expenses are directly influenced by mouth influence sale volume.
Examples are sales stated commission and delivery expenses.
Step 4: The production budget is designed to plan the resources recovered to produce the
output envisaged by the sales forecast a pre- condition to an agreement as to the size of

20
the budget is the adjacency of the production capacity or living or purchasing additional
plant and equipment.
Step 5: This is the cash budget that consist of the estimates of cash receipts and cash
payment arising from the planed leveled of activities and used of resources the cash
budget is complete survey of the financial implication of expenditure plan both of a
current and a capital nature during the year, moreover by comparing the anticipated
outflows of cash with the expected flow the cash budget enables management to
anticipate any deficits so that the necessary financing arrangement may be made, and to
decide up on a policy for placing any cash surplus as its excludes expenses of non-cash
nature, such as depreciation. This cash budget is one of the last budget to be prepared
because if depend upon the other budgets which from part of the budgeting process.
Step 6: this is the budgeted income statement ,to summarize the integrated all operating
budget so as to measure the end result on the income for.
Step 7: Budgeted balance sheet is the final stage and also the projection of the budgeted
result on the forms financial position of the end of the year.
Successfully, the budgeted planning depends on a number of other factors for
example, a sound organizations structure which designates clearly areas of authority and
responsibility, as well and accounting in information system, which allows effective
financial contacts.

2.8 HUMAN FACTORS IN BUDGTARY CONTROL


The human factors must be given adequate consideration in order to ensure the
source budgetary control system. The budgetary must not be looked upon as purely
mechanistic. in those are, fears and self centeredness must be removed their education
and selling cannot be over-emphasized.to management must enthusiastically support the
system.
The budget should not be an unpleasant instrument of harassing employee properly
used. It will be positive and in selling standard of performance in motivating towards

21
goal in interviewing result and in directing attention to the areas that need investigation.
The budget in –automates: however its administration is a delicate took because everyone
that is affected must understand accept the nation that the budget is primarily designed to
help not to hinder the supreme important of the human relation aspect of budgeting
cannot be over emphasized too often, top management and its accountant and overly
concerned with the mechanical budgets where as the effectiveness of any budgeting
system depend on whether the manager effect it and accept it.

2.10 BUDGETARY CONTROL AND ITS DIRECTIVE USE


Budgetary control is the establishment of budget relating to the responsibilities at
executives to the requirement of the budget and the period comparison actual
performance with the budget to secure the attainment of the budget of provide a basis for
its revision.
A budget has also been defined as a quantitative expression of the plan of a
business to be perusals with a given period the principal advantage of budgeting is
probably that it force manager to think ahead to anticipate not a solution for a
specifically in company.
In particulars budgetary control will bring to light the fact that a mistake has be
trade during the course of course of control and other statistical technique must be
sought in the preparation of the budget and forecast.
So also the control element of the budgetary and control shall not be emphasized.
Deviation from the pre determined plans are brought to light by comparing the action and
budgeted performance and costs. The variance can the be analyzed and could be costs.
The variance can the be analyzed and could be taken at the right time and in a correct
place.

CHAPTER THREE
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
Empirical data on budgetary control is scarcity and the study provide level step to
ward a quantities insight into the effect of budgetary control in manufacture companies in
Nigeria. This explain the empirical activities of data collection carried out with the choice
of method used among available on possible characteristics considered ones, the
population, the sampling with then choice made and used among available other the
scope the appropriate sample ad interpretation sample and interpretation carried out with
appropriate choice of techniques samples data.

3.2 POPULATION AND SAMPLE SIZE


Considering the series of data analysis and evaluation techniques available in the
procedure was adapted in this research work. A personal interview session was held with
the company manager selected form branch which are of department like accounting
department, transition department e.t.c,
For the purpose of this study non probability sampling method is convenient for
type of the study and therefore the season for it being employed. The reason for the
using this method is convenient for is type of study and therefore the season for it being
employed. The reason for the using this method is due to limitation mid term of time
and fund which face researcher in the course of the study. As a result of high cost and
time involved in probability sampling method. The population of this study includes
manufacturing industries in Nigeria.

3.3 SOURCES OF DATA


Both primary and secondary data is been use in conducting this research, these
mater method use in conducting this research, work is personal interview which is the
basics primary source of information also used are textbook and journal which are

23
secondary source of information the respondent supply supplementary data the interview
granted the respondent was basically on the subject of study and direct assessment were
made by the secondary source enable the researcher to present the data in appropriate
form.

3.4. DATA COLLECTION METHOD


This is the process of gathering the instrument use to carried out the research work for
effective implementation of the questionnaire is the most common use instrument for
research work on which is the one we use in the research work in other to make it
understandable for many interested readers, the questionnaires will be designed in both a
close ended and open ended manner.

3.4 METHOD OF DATA ANALYSIS


The simple percentage and chi-square method will be used for data analysis and
hypothesis testing respectively. The percentage will be used to evaluate the responses of
the respondent to each question, while the chi-square will be used to determine weather
the observed discovered.
The chi-square will be base on the level of significance of 5% and a degree of freedom of
(n-I ) of chi-square distribution X2
X2 = ∑(O-E)2
E
Where: X2 = chi-square
O = Observation frequency
E = Expected frequency
∑ = Summation
3.5 PROFILE OF THE CASE STUDY
The seven up was formed in 1959 and negotiated franchise to produce product
from seven up international of New York.

24
It was proportion time for our country as at that period, the planning process was on the
way for our country’s independence.
Company’s planning also was wasted on and on the first of October 1960 was the birth
of our nation and that of the company this come to be one hour which the company is
very proud of
The founder a well-known and respected figure with in both the business and
wider community at large, Mr. Mohamed el-khahil, his still the chairman till date and
take a likely interest in the offices of the company and its employees he laid the
foundation and foundation has been carried on by the second generation by MR. Answer
elkalali, who went to build up the fabric of the organization with some farsighted
planning , in the early sixties.
This built unto the early vision of the chairman who set the company on his
course as he know it today MR. Answer who maintain his personal investment and
interest in the executive post of deputy chairman .
The idea of raising other plant to supplement the introduction of the company and
its product throughout the world began through the largest request of (people and the
executive interest).It was introduce into Nigeria on 27th day of June 1969 with the local of
office at Lagos, it was when Land throughout the world began through the largest request
of (people and the executive interest). It was introduced into Nigeria on the 27 th day of
June 1969 with the local office at Lagos, it was when Lagos plant set up and its activities
and function its to supply the product to all part to the country and in particular Lagos
state and its environment.
Therefore, the costs that will be used in carrying out all the distribution activities
