Chapter 20, Problem 3BTN
ETHICS CHALLENGE C1
BTN 20-3 Both the budget process and budgets themselves can impact management actions. Both positively and negatively. For instance, a common practice among not-for-profit organizations and government agencies is for management to spend any amounts remaining in a budget at the end of the budget period, a practice often called “use it or lose it.” The view is that if a department manager does not spend the budgeted amount, top management will reduce next year’s budget by the amount not spent. To avoid losing budget dollars, department managers often spend all budgeted amounts regardless of the value added to products or services. All of us pay for the costs associated with this budget system.
Required
Write a half-page report to a local not-for-profit organization or government agency offering a solution to the “use it or lose it” budgeting problem.

- Integrity and evaluating budgeting systems The city of Milton has an annual budget cycle that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. At the beginning of each budget year, an annual budget is established for each department. The annual budget is divided by 12 months to provide a constant monthly static budget. On June 30, all unspent budgeted monies for the budget year from the various city departments must be returned to the General Fund. Thus, if department heads fail to use their budget by year-end, they will lose it. A budget analyst prepared a chart of the difference between the monthly actual and budgeted amounts for the recent fiscal year. The chart was as follows: a. Interpret the chart. b. Suggest an improvement in the budget system.arrow_forwardEthics and professional conduct in business The director of marketing for Truss Industries Inc.. Ellen Knutson, had the following discussion with the company controller. Bud Wyckoff. on February 26 of the current year: Ellen: Bud, it looks like I'm going to spend much less than indicated on my February budget. Butt: I'm glad to hear it. Ellen: Well. I'm not so sure it's good news. I'm concerned that the president will see that I'm under budget and reduce my budget in the future. The only reason that I look good is that we've delayed an advertising campaign. Once the campaign hits in May. I'm sure my actual expenditures will go up. You see. we are also having our sales convention in May. Having the advertising campaign and the convention at the same time is going to kill my May numbers.arrow_forwardEXERCISE 8–7 Cash Budget [LO8–8] Garden Depot is a retailer that is preparing its budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
