Technical Analysis, Accounting & Finance (TAAF)

Budget management analysis is used by mangers as a tool and helps determine that all resources available are being used efficiently. The budgets are determined yearly and are based upon the previous year’s budget and variances. This paper will discuss specific strategies to manage budgets within forecast, compare five to seven expense results with budget expectations, describe possible reasons for variances, give strategies to keep results aligned with expectations, recommend three benchmarking techniques, and identify those that might improve budget accuracy, and justify the choices made.

One of the major functions of a nurse manager is managing a budget and allocating resources necessary to manage the unit or facility effectively. “Major steps in the budgeting process include gathering information and planning, developing unit budgets, developing cash budgets, negotiating and revising, and using feedback to control budget results and improve future plans”(Yoder-Wise, 2012, p. 244). The nurse manager must be able to accommodate variances and acclimate the budget in both the projections and up-to-date expenditures. Proficiency in managing a unit level budget is essential for both a favorable variance and optimal patient outcomes. Budgeting entails reviewing revenues and expenses, staffing costs, supplies, and capital equipment costs (Contino, 2001). This case study examines personnel, overtime (OT), supplies, travel, equipment, and staff education and the manner in which management can address these factors.

This strategy helps us cover the revenue shortfall. Based on the spreadsheet the compensation categories, including salaries and wages, account for 60% of the spending reductions. As a matter of fact, we hired 10,000 employees in 2015 with the high salary, which caused the revenue shortfall. Now, we need to reduce our employees number to 9000 to cover the revenue shortfall. We know how difficult this news may be, but we know that we have to act under cost savings in the coming months and years. I believe that this budget is a vital and responsible action in the short time to manage the immediate required budget shortfall as well as enable us to prepare for the uncertainties of the
