Controlling a Budget

Overview Controlling budgets is a headache for businesses of all size. Many smaller businesses start off on the right foot by putting in place a good book-keeping system, but then fail to exercise proper financial control and end up in trouble.

To do this, you need to estimate your sales income reasonably accurately, estimate your costs precisely, and keep both under control. This actionlist looks at some of the most common problems in controlling a budget, and suggest ways to tackle them.
