Budgeting

 

  • Budget- projection/ plan for the future generation and expenditure of money in the business. 

    • Cash budget- shows the anticipated inflow and outflow of cash in the business (predicting bank balance) 

    • Only deals with receipts and payments, actual cash coming into and out of the business

    • Bad debts and depreciation are non-cash expenses

    • Zero base budget- budget started from scratch, does not consider past outflow and inflow of cash to determine future inflow and outflow from the business 

    • Capital budget - a projection of when and from where the business will receive a capital injection 

    • Long term budget - prediction of the finances of the business, usually after 20 years, or even 20 years

    • Medium-term budget  - a budget that will predict the finances of the business in 5 years or more
