			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With the current state of the world economy  the way it is business owners of all sizes, large or small, must  concentrate on effective business management to ensure maximum profit  returns are achieved. A thriving business does not stay that way unless  the business is managed effectively or you have a whole lot of luck.  Most often small business are feeling the pressure more so than large  business however this is not necessarily a proven fact and all  businesses need attention to maintain profit and growth as well in the  economy of today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Often basic management is overlooked however these tips will help in  ensuring you are doing the best that you can for your business and there  are some areas you can concentrate on right away to help you through  the current climate and with a view to increasing your business results  as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>People Management</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure that you are making effective use of your staff and getting  optimal results from your customers as well. Take the time to get the  ideas and suggestions your employees and customers have to offer you.  You employees are aware of the current financial situation and while you  are spending time focusing on your own financial situation and the  business your employees are also considering their future either with a  possibly down turn in business or perhaps staff cuts to minimize costs.  So make sure that you are talking with your staff. Make them a part of  your business plan, you do not have to follow every suggestion they have  for improving the business or income but you may find that they have  some ideas that you can use in part or full to improve services or  products for your customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make your customers aware that your business is seeking to thrive and  continue so whatever service or product you deal with show enthusiasm  and excellent customer service to your customers. Make sure that they  are satisfied or make improvements based on customer feedback to ensure  you continue to maintain regular or loyal customers during this period  as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Focusing on your existing customers helps maintain your current cash  flow. Do not loose focus on obtaining new customers but make sure that  you are not loosing the customers you already have. Keeping your  existing customers is generally a much easier and more effective  business management tool than only focusing on obtaining new customers.  Your existing customers when believing they are receiving great service  or products at good value will also pass this on to their friends or  family which in turn can improve your new customer in flow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have specific staff that are excelling in certain areas make  sure that you are using those people to your best advantage. Have them  improve the level of knowledge of your other staff at the same time to  give you an overall improved knowledge base within your business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Analyze Costs</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maintaining your business cash flow is a very important factor in  being able to survive in a period when the economy is not at it its  best. Conduct a cost analysis of specific areas of your business to  ensure there is no cost overflow or wastage. Especially focus on areas  where you are possibly able to negotiate better terms or services from  external providers. Such as banks etc., where you may be able to detail  all costs currently being charged and if you can find a similar  institution offering better deals you should approach your existing  provider and see if they can match these conditions. They also need to  retain their customers and you may be surprised at what they can do for  you in order to retain you as a customer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Check into factors such as extended credit where perhaps now you are  offered a 15 day period, you may be able to increase this to a 30 day  period. However do not consider extensions of credit times to be an  overall benefit, you are still required to pay these creditors and  pushing the dates further only places the stress related to these  payments out over a longer period of time. Do not spend funds that you  do not have if you can avoid it. Improved payment terms can be a benefit  but don’t loose sight of the fact that these payments are still  required.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Marketing</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure you fully understand your market, and analyze whether there  are areas that your business could further succeed but you have yet to  approach with a marketing strategy. Check your products or services  costs over those of your competition and ensure you are being  competitive. This does not mean you have to offer the lowest cost for  all services or products as long as your customer service and  satisfaction to your customers is evident. Being the cheapest is not  always the best option. However over pricing your products or services  will definitely lead to a reduction in your repeat business or new  customer interaction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure that you are still focusing on advertising and marketing of  your products and services. Don’t decide that this is the first area  you will cut back in your business if you are required to do so. You  need to ensure your name and what you offer is getting out there to the  customers you wish to entice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These are just some very basic suggestions for business management,  there are many other factors to consider in operating your business and  you should do as much research as you can and be constantly improving  the way you operate your business. Focus on what you have as well as  what you want to achieve and be mindful of changes in certain areas  income producing areas and whether you may need to make alterations to  the management of your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">They say the only sure things in life are  death and taxes. For small businesses, the adage should be if you don’t  manage your taxes, they will be the death of your business! Failure to  keep up with tax liability is a common pitfall for business owners, but  there is no reason to fear the tax man. Setting your business up to stay  on top of your federal and state responsibilities is not particularly  difficult, and all entrepreneurs should be eager to develop internal  systems to ensure that taxes are never a problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Depending on your type of business, your tax liabilities will vary.  For most, the list includes state and local licenses and permits, sales  and use tax, employment taxes, and, for corporations, federal and state  income taxes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Licenses and Fees</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Licenses and permits vary according to where your business is based  and include state entity registration fees (for LLCs and corporations),  county or city business licenses, and any local permits your type of  business requires. It is critical that you pay these fees on time.  Failing to stay up-to-date will end up costing you more and putting the  protection afforded by your LLC or corporation at risk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Protect your business by calendaring the due dates for all fees due  at least 10 business days before they are due. If your expected fees are  high, as in the annual franchise tax in California or any sales-based  fees, be sure to work those fees into your expense budget. You can set  aside some each month or plan for the full amount the month it is due,  but be sure you have enough cash to cover the bill when the time comes.  Keep all license and permit information filed together &#8212; a 3-ring  binder can be an excellent way to store these important papers &#8212; and  develop a system for tracking the due dates of every fee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sales Tax</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Paying the government their share of sales through state and local  sales tax is a common problem for small businesses. Often, the sales tax  collected in the daily receipts is deposited along with the store’s  income and considered available cash by the owners. Once the due date  comes around (usually once per quarter), the sales tax bill is much  higher than anticipated and creates a serious cash flow problem. As in,  there is not enough cash flow to cover the sales tax! A few sales tax  periods later, the business is on the verge of self-destruction. These  amounts add up quickly &#8212; just $100 of sales tax collected per day  equals over a <em>$9,000</em> tax bill inside of three months!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a couple of easy remedies for this problem. First, consider  opening a separate bank account to hold the sales tax receipts. Your  accounting software or point-of-sale system will record the amount of  sales tax collected each day, and you can deposit or transfer that  amount to the tax account on a daily or weekly basis. This way, you are  guaranteed to have the cash on hand when the tax bill is due and will be  less tempted to spend the cash on other supplies or inventory. Also,  you will earn interest on the deposits over the few months they sit  idle. It’s not much, but it is your money!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A second method to avoid spending sales tax proceeds is to use your  accounting system to determine how much cash you have available to  spend. If set up correctly from the beginning, your accounting software  will allocate the sales tax collected to its own account, separate from  your cash on hand account. As long as you don’t rely on the actual bank  balance to tell you how much you have to spend, the cash will still be  there when the bill comes due.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Employment Taxes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Employment taxes are another common pitfall for small business  owners. It is critical that you completely understand your  responsibility as an employer <em>before</em> you hire your first  employee. Tax liability for employees is divided between both the  employee and employer &#8212; altogether, federal taxes due equal 15.3% of  your employees’ pay; half is withheld from the paycheck, the other half  the employer pays out-of-pocket. Therefore, the business is responsible  for submitting <em>both</em> the amount withheld from the paycheck and the  employer’s portion. If your area has a state income tax, you are liable  for submitting those payments as well. Again, employment taxes are  generally due quarterly, unless your payroll exceeds a certain amount or  you have a poor record of paying on time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Small business owners run into the same problem with these tax  payments as they do with sales tax. Unless a system is established to  set aside the correct amount due during the period, it is very difficult  to come up with the full payment on time. In addition, some employers  find the paperwork and withholding procedures to be confusing and just  choose not to participate. As you probably have learned, ignoring a  problem doesn’t make it go away! Before you hire employees, learn all  you can about your tax-related responsibilities and set up your  accounting software with the correct numbers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Income Taxes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you register your business as a corporation, you will need to file  an annual federal, and possibly state, income tax return. Generally,  you will be expected to submit quarterly estimated tax payments to the  government so they can hold your deposits until tax time. Failure to  submit the correct quarterly amounts or to file on time can result in  significant penalties come tax time, so it is important to stay on top  of these due dates as well. If you register your entity as an LLC, you  will likely be required to submit quarterly payments for your <em>personal</em> income taxes. Self-employment taxes are 15.3% of your income &#8212; the  same total as is normally paid by the employee and employer together. If  you are taking regular distributions from your LLC, it is recommended  that you set aside your 15.3% each pay period to cover your income tax  due.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bottom Line</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bottom line to tax management for your business is to understand  the various types and amounts of tax due and develop a system for  setting aside the cash and paying on time. Like anything else related to  your business, good planning before taxes become an issue will save you  a lot of headaches, and will increase your venture’s chances of  success!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Managing your debts is an essential part of  running a successful business. Without thorough debt management  procedure, your business might fail. A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is a  mutual agreement between borrowers and a Credit Counseling Agency (CCA).  According to this plan, you agree to repay your debts in full over time  without taking any more debt. In return, most creditors will agree to  reduce your interest charges and waive any late fees. Likewise, a  business debt management plan assists you in setting up a system to help  you manage the day to day running of your finances.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The business debt Management Programme is flexible to meet borrower’s  needs. There is no contract involved and you can reduce or increase  your payment if you find your circumstances have changed. If you find  that you are in a position to clear your debts, debt management  companies will negotiate on their behalf for reduced full and final  settlements. You pay a monthly sum to the debt management company. This  is an amount that they determine you can afford every month. From this  payment they take their fees and then pay percentages to your creditors  included in the plan. But experts claim that debt management companies  manage your debt for you just for a fee. This doesn&#8217;t make your problem  any better.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There might be times for you when it may seem that there is no way to  get out of your business debt, as the bills keep coming and your  business debt continues to mount. Whatever your situations are, a  business debt management programme designs a solution to your needs. It  doesn’t only take care of your immediate problems but also provides a  long term programme to help you regain control on your business debt.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Faced with business debt problems many people’s first instinct is to  consolidate their debts. Consolidation loans are used to consolidate  your existing debts into one single new loan, which lower your monthly  payments. This loan is spread over a longer period of time than your  existing debts, but it can only be useful during a period when you are  being charged low interest rates.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The ultimate option available to find business debt solution is  bankruptcy, if things are really extremely bad. In certain circumstances  it can be the best option. But once you are declared bankrupt you are  likely to be locked into it for many years. You might be unable to  access any further credit, to start certain types of business or open a  bank current account.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Business debt management is all about immediate relief from your  business financial worries, and become free from harassment and be able  to financially breathe again. But it is inevitably important to be  careful while choosing the right option which sort out all business debt  problems. There are numerous financial experts who will help you in  selecting the right option. It is advisable to use the service of  various financial websites who impart you appropriate information and  advice related to business debt management free and impartially.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s a New Year and often in business,  it is  time to give things a fresh look. Why not give your business card  a  once-over, to decide if it is offering you the most opportunities it   can?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your business card should be  an introduction to who you are and what  you do. But it also should  encourage people to contact you again. A  lackluster business card that  is ho hum and totally forgettable is  actually doing you more harm than  good. Giving your business card a  little vibrancy and pep can help give  you more connections and build  relationships in the coming year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s  talk for a moment about what happens when you meet someone.  This can  be in any situation so let’s generalize: you have a short,  friendly  conversation and talk about what the two of you do. One of you  suggests  exchanging business cards. You exchange business cards. You  leave each  others&#8217; company. Then (quite often) no connection is made.  Giving your  business card a makeover can change this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Take  your business card out and look at it. Yes, right now! First: is  the  information on it current? Is your Job Title, Company Name,  Address,  Telephone Number, Email Address and all other information  current for  who you are and what you do and how to contact you? Don’t  laugh, there  are many, many successful professionals who have out of  date business  cards because they “don’t have the time” to get new ones.  If you “don’t  have the time” then you need a business card makeover more  than ever!  Make note of the information that needs to be make current.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get  social. Does your business card list your social networking   information? Your LinkedIn URL? Twitter? In some industries, social   networking is used a lot more and in other industries it is not. In some   companies, social networking is used a lot more and in other companies   it is not. Some people use social networking and others use it less.  So  as you can see, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer here, simply  the  right one for you. But if you do have social networking links you  want  to add, this is the ideal time to add them!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember  if you give out your social networking URLs, you want to be  sure your  social networking URLs show updated information for you too.  Take the  time to update your social networking profiles before you do  your  business cards, so any contacts that visit your accounts have the   opportunity to see you at your best. If you change your social   networking accounts, like create a new Twitter account, have updated   business cards made. Don’t hand out the old business cards. If you are   working and investing in your career by doing social networking you are   doing yourself a disservice by handing out the old business cards!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Does  your business card have white space? That sounds odd, doesn’t  it? But  every business card needs some white space, space you can write  on.  This can be the back of the card, the bottom of the card, the middle  of  the card, it really doesn’t matter. But there needs to be some part  of  the card you can write on. To increase contact with the person you   exchange with, write a short note to them as you pass the card to them.   Taking the time to personalize your card shows you like them and want  to  develop a relationship with them. It will also help to remind them  of  you when they see your business card in their coat pocket a week  from  now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">From a process perspective, Financial Management is the easiest and  simplest business process to take care of no matter what business you&#8217;re  in. But it&#8217;s often the most avoided and neglected area of any business.  So why is that? Well, in my experience it often comes down to our fears  around money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The best way to tackle fear is by using knowledge.  Not avoidance. I work with many clients who at first will try their  absolute best to avoid looking at their numbers, or not paying attention  to it, in the hope that it will go away. But unless we know where  you&#8217;re at right now, there&#8217;s no way we can improve it. This is where  putting together a financial management process and documenting this in a  financial management operations manual can be of huge benefit both to  yourself as a business owner and to your business!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The type of  Financial Management process that I take clients through is a method  that I devised because I was probably way behind where you are now. It  comes down to understanding some simple systems that you can then  enhance to build your very own financial management process. Then  putting that knowledge into a financial management operations manual so  that your financial records are maintained in a consistent manner that  you can get the information you want.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have to be very clear with  you here. I am not an accountant. My understanding of financial  management comes from learning the hard way &#8211; by it costing me a fortune  to NOT know. So over time, I developed my financial know-how and then  devised systems and procedures to help me to be able to better manage my  business finances.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And by the way, I have always had great  financial people on my team. But they are made great by the fact that I  have a system that they follow. This ensures that my data is recorded in  a consistent manner, and that I&#8217;ve got my finger on the pulse of my  business by having all the right reports available at the right time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="article-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Today&#8217;s worrying financial climate has made most of us more aware  than ever of the need for good financial management in business.  Businesses need to be competitive and fiscally strong in order to  survive, and it is only through carefully considering several key areas  of financial planning that any business can hope to achieve this. These  critical areas of financial management may seem obvious when pointed  out, but many business people still make silly mistakes in these areas  or worse still overlook them entirely.</p>
<p><strong>Cash flow Projections- </strong>Even  the most inexperienced of business owners has probably understood the  vital need for good cash flow long before starting their enterprise, but  keeping cash flowing without the nightmare that a cash flow crisis can  bring is nothing more than a matter of good planning. Every business  should be making regular cash flow predictions that detail all cash  expected in to the business from sales and other income and all  anticipated outgoings of cash such as expenses and other payments.   Regular cash flow forecasts of this kind allow a business to stay ahead  of the game by giving it the opportunity to arrange finance in advance  of any looming crisis.</p>
<p><strong>Payment Management- </strong>For  most businesses invoicing for payment is standard practice; for every  customer sent an invoice, one will probably be received from elsewhere  for supplies etc. To get the best from your cash flow it is wise to make  good use of any terms offered, paying an invoice immediately might seem  honourable, but it will mean that the cash used to pay it will be  helping the supplier&#8217;s cash flow and not your own. When a supplier gives  a business 30 days to pay, they are allowing 30 days to receive  payment, so it is always good practice to use this time.</p>
<p><strong>Debtor Management- </strong>Although  when offering terms a business expects its customer to utilise the  terms in full and will allow for this, there are always customers who  push terms further than your business can stand. It is therefore crucial  to have a workable system in place for dealing with bad payers well  before the first bad debt occurs. It is important to know exactly what  is owed to the business and when it is due at all times and so good  record keeping in this area is essential; many accountancy software  packages have debtors&#8217; listings built in, but a simple spread sheet will  suffice. Chasing the money due in to your business can be a valuable  exercise, as it is often the case that debtors have simply forgotten to  make payment or are merely pushing terms as far as they can, waiting to  be chased before they pay. Many invoices will be settled once chased, so  it is important to do this regularly, clearly and uniformly; using a  standard letter, followed by a call if the letter remains unanswered is a  useful system. When it comes to persistent bad payers, it is probably  prudent to drop them as customers and to put the chasing of any accrued  debt into the hands of professionals.</p>
<p><strong>Monthly Records-</strong> Plenty of business owners prefer not to get involved in what they  consider to be the remit of their Bookkeeper or accountant, and will shy  away from regular bookkeeping. However this is an area of financial  management that it really will benefit the business owner to hang on to.  Keeping monthly records of transactions will allow a business owner to  keep a firm control of the businesses finances; it gives a far better  indication of business performance than most other indicators and will  highlight profits and losses well in advance of the annual reports. As  with other records kept, it is not necessary to have complex software  packages to keep monthly books, a spreadsheet will work just as well.</p>
<p>There  is no real alternative for enlisting the help of a good accountant to  give your business the solid financial advice it needs, but decent  financial management must also happen on a regular basis at the core of  every business; there is no substitute for knowing what is going on with  your business&#8217; finances if you want to survive in today&#8217;s difficult  climate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="article-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Do you feel like you are out of control when it comes to managing  your finances? Do you run out of money every month and wonder where it  all goes? Managing your finances is a big responsibility. If you are not  good at managing your finances than you might find yourself getting  into debt or not being able to pay your expenses. One way to manage your  money is to keep a journal.</p>
<p>How does a journal help? It keeps you  accountable. Many people that diet are assigned to keep a food journal.  They have to write down everything they eat. This holds them  accountable and makes them aware of how much or how little they are  eating. When you keep a financial management journal, write down  everything you spend money on and all the money you earn.</p>
<p>By  writing down all of your earnings and all of your spending you will  begin to see where all of your money is going. You might notice that you  are spending way too much money on food or wasting money on things you  don&#8217;t even need or want. By having it all in writing you can look it  over and decide what expenses you can get rid of and see what a big  difference that will make.</p>
<p>Another thing to add to your journal is  your budget. Create a monthly budget and put it in your journal. Write  down your expenses and income for the month and see how close you stay  within your budget. This is a good place to write down financial goals,  such as a goal to pay of a credit card or a goal to save up for a new  car. You can look at these goals daily and decide what expenses you are  willing to cut out that will help you to save this extra money.</p>
<p>Your  financial management journal will help you be more organized in your  life and also help you have greater control of your finances. When you  are in control you will make better financial decisions and avoid  getting unwanted debts. Take responsibility and hold yourself  accountable for the way you spend your money. It will take time to get  used to writing everything down in a journal, but you will get used to  it and you will be grateful for the difference it will make in your  life. So get a journal now and start writing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Importance of Financial Management</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finance is a key  functional area of business management. This area is commonly referred  to as Financial Management. The term defines the achievement of key  financial objectives by making investment and financial decisions.  Essentially, it is the management of all the processes associated with  the efficient acquisition and deployment of both short and long-term  financial resources. Financial Management assists an organisation&#8217;s  management to reach its financial objectives such as the creation of  wealth, solvency, liquidity, growth and return on investment achieved  through a process of financial planning, control and decision-making.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Financial Control</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Financial  control consists of different strategies to manage finances necessary  to achieve the primary purpose of every business; which is to earn  profit. Budgets are the traditional financial control method and provide  a measuring basis which performance can be assessed. By engaging in a  yearly budgeting process a business can make plans and forecasts for the  year ahead. Control action should be taken when actual performance  appears not to be matching the outline of the budget. Therefore by  monthly monitoring of expenses, controlling methods can be put into  place when expenses becoming higher than figures stated in budget (such  as spending cut backs or extra working hours). And by determining the  reasons why figures do not match the yearly budget plan, a business can  therefore make necessary plans for this not to occur in the future.  Monthly monitoring of expenses is another example of a financial  control. Such data includes cash balance, total wages costs and hours  worked key sources of income, unusual or above budget expenditures.<span id="more-396"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Three Main Financial Statements</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 3 main financial statements necessary to analysis and improve on finance viability:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1) Balance sheet &#8211; &#8216;A statement of financial position that shows the assets of a business and the claims on those assets&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2)  Income Statement &#8211; &#8216;A financial statement (also known as profit and  loss account) that measures and reports the profit (or loss) the  business has generated during a period.&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3) The cash flow statement &#8211; &#8216;A statement that shows the sources and uses of cash for a period&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By  analysing these three financial statements on a regular basis a  business can proactively forecast problems or opportunities before they  arise. The 3 main financial statements are also considered as financial  controls as these statements are used to understand and interpret the  financial conditions of a business as a means of management and control.  The statements enable a business to set guidelines and policies that  enable growth and business success. An annual Profit and Loss statement  is considered the most important financial statement and UK businesses  are legally required to lodge a Profit &amp; Loss Account with Companies  House. In regards to cash flow, cash inflows are payments for products  or services and interest on savings and investments. Cash outflows are a  combination of many things including purchasing stock, daily operating  expenses, fixed assets and government taxes. A business is also required  to produce a balance sheet annually for reporting purposes. It provides  a report of assets or liabilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Budgeting and Budgetary Control</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A  budget as a qualified statement, for a defined period of time, which  may include planned revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash  flows. It is a short-term plan of working towards financial objectives.  There are several styles of budgeting, these styles include -</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Fixed &#8211; does not allow for variations</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Flexible &#8211; Adjusts or flexes</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Continuous or rolling &#8211; continually amended</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Zero-based &#8211; needs assessed</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Incremental &#8211; uses previous budget with increment</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Budgets  are necessary to provide a basis for control, helping identify  short-term problems and promote forward thinking. However, there is a  need for budgets to be adaptable if they become unrealistic due to  sudden changes in the business environment. This is known as &#8216;Flexing  the Budget&#8217; (which simply means revising the budget).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A variance  report is required to indicate whether performance is below or above the  budgeted level. It is the difference between the budgeted level of  costs and revenue and the actual levels of costs and revenues also  referred to as variance analysis. Budgets can also have a behavioural  effect motivating the management team and staff to achieve better  performance and help promote forward thinking.</p>
