Step 1 of 5

Analysis of variances can be defined as the comparison between the actual data and the budgeted data. In other words it can be said that the variances are derived from the difference between the actual and standard data. The budgets are made by management usually based on the actual data of the past year. The variance analysis helps the management to identify the cost and revenue center performance.
