A budget is a plan prepared for the flow of funds in an organisation. It contains financial guidelines for the future plan of action for a selected period of time.
A budget helps to refine goals and use funds efficiently. It provides accurate information for evaluation of financial activities, aids in decision making, and provides a reference for future planning.
