Dept. of Commerce Date – 31st March 2020 Performance Budgeting Performance budgeting is a system of planning, budgeting & evaluation that emphasizes the relationship between money budgeted and results expected. A performance budget is one which presents - the purposes and objectives for which funds are required, the costs of programmes proposed for achieving those objectives and quantitative data measuring the accomplishments and work performed under each programme. According to National Institute of Bank Management, Performance budgeting is,
“the process of analyzing, identifying, simplifying and
crystallizing specific performance objectives of a job to be achieved over a period, in the framework of the organizational objectives, the purpose and objectives of the job.” History
In 1949, Hoover Commission of USA innovated this
budget.
The performance budgeting was gaining importance when
Second Hoover Commission submitted its report in 1955 for its wide range of precision and acceptance, particularly in Government Departments where some special information is required to be performed. EXAMPLE
30% reduction in death ratio of HIV-Positive
patients by the end of 2020. 20% increase in production in 2018 by staff training on a monthly basis. 50% reduction in infant mortality rate by implementing robust vaccination centers in all different parts of the country by 2022. PERFORMANCE-BASED VS TRADITIONAL BUDGET The amount of money to be spent for the particular purpose for example on staff salary, office supplies, equipment etc. are included in the traditional budget. However, what is to be accomplished by each dollar spent is indicated by the performance budget. Previously, the organizations were not following the performance-based approach. However, currently, the organizations follow the performance-based approach. FEATURES: • Focuses on results. Departments are held accountable to certain performance standards. There is a greater awareness of what services taxpayers are receiving for their tax dollars.
• Is flexible. Money is often allocated in lump sums rather
than line- item budgets, giving managers the flexibility to determine how best to achieve results.
• Is inclusive. It involves policymakers, managers, and often
citizens in the budget “discussion” through the development of strategic plans, identification of spending priorities, and evaluation of performance.
• Has a long-term perspective. By recognizing the
relationship between strategic planning and resource allocation, performance budgeting focuses more attention on longer time horizons. Advantages Forward planning is enhanced Clear appreciation of ongoing cost of pursuing government objectives Better management practices with the comparison of objectives with achievements Better public disclosure Improves the accountability of government in general and the public services in particular Disadvantages
• Rationalizing the irrational (or highly
political) process • Complete rationality involves listing of all available alternative ways in which money could be spent Steps in P.B. (i) To establish a meaningful functional programme and activity classification of Government undertakings.
