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.

 (ii) Financial accounting and financial


management should be classified according to
the classification of PB.
(Contd.)

 (iii) Evaluate suitable norms, work units of


performance and cost per unit, if possible.

 (iv) However, the report of the ARC uses the


following items.

Functions → Programme → Activity → Project
