Budget is a statement prepared by the management of the business entity which helps them to estimate the expenses, income, receipts, payment, sales and purchases during the period. It is prepared keeping in mind the companies objectives and abilities with respect to resources they have. Often businesses deviate from their budgeted figures either in favourable way or unfavourable way. Such deviations are commonly referred to as variances.
