The Master Budget is the comprehensive financial plan for the organization as a whole. Sometimes, the Master Budget also called Comprehensive Budgets. The Master Budget consist of Operating Budget and Financial Budget. The Operating budgets describe the income-generating activities of a firm. The ultimate outcome of the operating budgets is a Pro forma or Budgeted Income Statement. The Financial budgets detail the inflows and outflows of cash and the overall financial position. Planned cash inflows and outflows appear in the Cash Budget. The expected Financial Position at the end of the budget period is shown in a Pro forma or Budgeted Balance Sheet. Typically, the master budget is for a One-Year Period corresponding to the fiscal year of the company. Yearly budgets are broken down into Quarterly and Monthly budgets. The use of smaller time periods allows managers to compare actual data with budgeted data more frequently, so problems may be noticed and solved sooner. MASTER BUDGETS Basic Concepts

Activity-Based Budgeting (ABB) identifies activities, demands for activity output, and the cost of resources needed to support the activity output demanded. The principal difference in an activity-based approach is a detailed listing of activities and their expected costs within the overhead, selling, and administrative categories. Activity-based budgeting has the potential of being more accurate than traditional budgeting because it focuses on output measures for each activity and thus allows a manager to understand cost behavior at a much more detailed level. Activity-based budgeting is also more accurate because it uses cost formulas that depend on each activity’s output measures. The activity-based budget begins with output and then determines the resources necessary to create that output. ACTIVITY-BASED BUDGETING Basic Concepts
In environments that have a high of uncertainty, the traditional budgeting approach is deemed no longer relevant. In this condition, many companies assume that the traditional budget is more constraining than encouraging the implementation of organizational activities. As an alternative, Jeremy Hope & Robin Fraser (2003) have proposed a “Beyond Budgeting” approach. Basic Assumptions : The targets more flexible to reviewed and modified if necessary and managers are more motivated to achieve these goals since the goals represent measures that link directly to the competition rather than an internal artificial goal. The beyond budgeting model provides a more decentralized way of managing. Rather than relying on traditional hierarchical and centralized management, managers are much more accountable to their teams and work groups since the targets directly pertain to what they are doing. BEYOND BUDGETING Basic Concepts
