Behavioural Aspects of Budgeting and Planning

Budget for targets

This course will help you identify factors that affect management’s performance and identify dysfunctional behaviours from the budget process. By breaking down planning and operational factors, you can recognise budgeting as a control enhancing tool.

This interactive course enables you to:

• Identify the impact that budgets could have on motivation and performance,
• Use a budget to exercise control over the operations of the organisation, and
• Identify dysfunctional behaviours and management actions.

Gain experience with detailed exercises.

The practical hands-on exercise uses real-world examples, and they are designed to give you real-world knowledge on how to apply daily cost accounting principles.
