are follows:
1) Establishment of Budget Centers: A Budget center is a section of entity for which
control of exercised and budget prepared. A Budget center may be a department or
Distribution
Budget
part there of. Budget center must be clearly defined because a separate Budget has to
be set for each such center with the help of the department concerned.
2) Linking of Budget requirements with chart of Accounts: Budgets for different
budget centers are prepared on standard forms. If requirements of forms are linked
with chart of accounts information of different Budget centers which is consistently
compiled involving minimum loss of time. Suppose advertisement Budget is being
compiled and information for miscellaneous expenditure is to be collected. It will be
an essay exercise together this information, if code heads to be referred to in this
connection are specified in the form on which information for Budgets is being
collected.
3) Preparation of Organizational Chart: An Organization Chart should be prepared
which clearly shows the plan of the organization. Each member of management
should know the exact scope of his authority and responsibility and his relationship to
others members. An organizational chart is statement defining functional
responsibilities of executives. Each member of management should know the exact
scope of his authority and responsibility and his relationship with other members.

Relative position of a functional head with heads of other functions.
6) Budget Period: Budget period is the length of time for which a Budget is prepared
and operated. Budget periods vary between short-term and long-term and no specific
period can be laid down for all budgets. It varies among concerns and industries for
8) Budget Officer: The Chief Executive, who is at the top of the organization,
appoints some person as a budget Officer. The Budget Officer is empowered to
scrutinize the Budgets prepare by different functional heads and to make changes in
them, if the situation so demands. The actual performance of different departments is
communicated to the budget Officer. He determines the departments are
communicated to the Budget Officer. He determines the deviations in the Budgets and
takes necessary steps to rectify the deficiencies if any. He works as co-coordinator
among different departments and monitors the relevant information. He also informs
the top management about the performance of different departments. The Budget
Officer will be able to carry out his work fully well only if he is conversant with the
working of the department.
9) Patronage from Top Management: For the true success of budgetary activities,
impetus and direction must come from the top management. If involvement of top
management is missing, it will be difficult for Budget Officer to bring round the
reluctant line managers to this way of thinking. Thus, right form the start, activities
should be initiated in such a manner that involvement of top management in
budgetary activities becomes apparent.

Interpretation
The travel expenses had over short the budget consistently five out of seven years
under study. The range was 36 percent to 59 percent which indicated lack of control
and absence of economy measures. The company realized these facts in 2008-2009
and put in place a package of economy measures which raised the bar for out of
budget expenditure. The measures have worked well and as a result the variance of
travel expenses over and above budget was controlled almost in 2011-2012 and more
than expected 2013-2014. The control was so effective that a negative variance have
set in year 2013-2014of the order of -6.28

Interpretation
It signifies that the trend of increase in the negative variation in last 2 years is on
account of postponement of procurement of materials in the year 2009-2010, 20102011, 2011- 2012 which is not a healthy sign. Under procurements of materials points
out to delay in implementation of projects and impartial negative effects on
profitability which needs to be probed into in detail.

Interpretation
The acceptable range is + (or) - 5%. In general the variation was with in the rage only
in 2 out of 7 years. In 4 out of 7 years it was positive variation of 15% to 31% which
is indicative of the fact that the budgetary process was not being diligently adhered to
in the case of budgets for minor works. There is thus a need to fine-tune budgetary
process implementation in this category.

case of 2009-2010 and 2012-2013. The reason was on account of general and rapid

The acceptable range is + (or) 25%., As the age of vehicles stock is more, allowing
for increased expenditure in repairs and maintenance on account of age of vehicle
stock it was found that the expenditure under the head was uncontrollable. With the
range of over expenditure being from 36% to 63%. There is and urgent need to
formulate and implement a cost reduction program.

while the variation is high in 2009-2010 and 2010-2011.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I wish to summarize the budget and budgetary control process
and how each manger can draw out of the budgetary planning and control
system concrete objective to improve the operating performance and
profitability of the business.
Leo labs. has been achieving highest production year over the year by rescuing
the corresponding expenditure and attained no only self sufficiency but also
been supportive to the power Plants spread all over India.
With the help of proper budgetary planning and control system, Leo Labs has
been able to improve operating performance and profitability of the
Organization.
The financial system in Leo Labs has been very quick and well planned one,
which could be implanted in other such government organization.
The organization have followed effective budget system and control for
maintaining the expenditure within the appeared Budget and it also kept the
profile high and achieving the targeted production within the appeared Budget
and it also kept the profile high and achieving the targeted production by
minimum expenditure which expenditure which is evident form the last seven
years Revenue Expenditure Budget.
Form the variations between Budget Estimates and Actual Expenditure of last
five years it may be seen that the percentage of variation is becoming marginal
from year to year which reflects improved system of Budgeting as well as
control of Expenditure.
It is important to have budget manual so that everyone in Leo Labs can refer
to it for guidance and information about the budgetary process.
The variances arising out of each factor should be correctly segregated, and
reported to the management.
There is under procurement of materials with consequences for profitability,
which needs to be proved into in detail.
Uncontrollable variances are beyond the control of the organization.
Controllable variances should be reported immediately, so that responsibility
can be fixed and action taken against the individuals responsible.
Budgetary process has been effective in case of travel expenses and in
effective in case of motor vehicle repairs and maintenance and minor works.
Budget process has worked well in controlling travel expenses
