Before you commence your assessment, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject, have
thoroughly read your Learner Resource, and clearly understand the assessment requirements and
the expectations of the industry to which the assessment is related.
Assessments are designed to be completed using your industry/organisation, but your Registered
Training Organisation (RTO) may assist you by contextualising the unit to be completed in a simulated
workplace environment.
You will be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which must be observed directly by your
assessor. Where the observation task may be difficult for the assessor to directly observed, a
video recording of the practical observation task must be submitted as supplementary evidence.
Verification from at least one third-party signatory, and preferably two or more witnesses is required
to confirm your demonstration of these practical knowledge and skills. These witnesses would
usually be your current or recent supervisors, or your assessor.
The practical assessment tasks may be completed using your own workplace, a simulated
environment, or a mix of both, as instructed by your assessor. To contextualise this assessment to
your industry/organisation, you may be asked by your assessor to provide additional information
based on your industry/organisation.
Instructions are given for each task. If you have questions, or unclear how to proceed, consult with
your assessor.
Records of all aspects of the assessment must be kept in your Learner Assessment Pack

Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability -
November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be
as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software
on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
▪
The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and
▪
The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can
include:
▪
Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or
accredited course
▪
Modifying the presentation medium
▪
Learner support
▪
Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
▪
Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
▪
Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to
assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It
includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for
grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the
standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For
example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing,
allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment
method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the
competency requirements.

Contextualisation of Assessments by RTOs
Contextualisation is the process of modifying assessment tools to make learning more meaningful for
learners and their employers.
Precision RTO Resources recommends that your RTO contextualise the assessment tools to suit
particular industry requirements and specific organisational requirements before using them.
Contextualisation must retain the integrity of the assessment and the outcome of the unit of
competency.

Knowledge Assessment
Type of Financial Record
Purpose of Type of Financial Record
a. Bank deposit documentation
The deposit slip informs the teller which bank
account number to which the funds should be
credited. If necessary, customers can request a
copy of their deposit including the deposit slip
to show the itemized amounts that made up
the total deposit.
b. Bank statements
A bank issues a bank statement to an
account holder that shows the detailed
activity in the account. It allows the account
holder to see all the transactions processed on
their account.
Banks usually send monthly statements to
an account holder on a set date.
c.
Business activity statements (BAS)
These statements are used to report on and
pay several different types of taxes including
the Goods and Services Tax (GST) you've
collected, Pay as You Go (PAYG) instalments or
withholding, Fuel Tax Credits (FTC) and Fringe
Benefits Tax (FBT).
d. Credit card transaction statements
The credit card statement lists all the
transactions that the borrower makes during
the period, including withdrawals and
payments. It also includes additional finance
charges and fees, and provides instructions that
explain how much the borrower must pay and
where the borrower must send the payment.
e. Invoices
The primary purpose of an invoice is to
provide a business and its client with a record
of sale. An invoice serves an important purpose
in small business accounting: invoices
demonstrate a client's obligation to pay you for
SITXFIN009 - Manage finances within a budget (Release 1)

your services.
f.
Journal entries
The purpose of a journal entry is to physically
or digitally record every business transaction
properly and accurately. If a transaction
affects multiple accounts, the journal entry
will detail that information as well.
g.
Relevant Labour and wages reports
A labor cost distribution report is an
accounting statement that provides business
owners and HR managers with data critical
to their decision making: work hours, wages,
benefits, deductions, etc.
h. Merchant statements
A merchant statement is a financial report
that lists the total transaction volume, sales
activity, processing fees charged to a merchant
account within a particular month. Merchant
statements help merchants closely monitor
their financial activities and plan their budgets
accordingly.
i.
Transaction reports
The primary purpose of transaction reports
is to detect and investigate suspected
market
abuse, insider trading and market manipulation.
Review of a transaction report is a key part of
any investigation into alleged market abuse
reported to any national competent authority.
Type of Budget
Purpose of Type of Budget
a. Cash budgets
The primary objective of a cash budget is to
forecast future cash balances in order to
identify potential deficits and surpluses. Based
on the forecasted balances, finance
professionals work to create plans that
manage those situations effectively.
SITXFIN009 - Manage finances within a budget (Release 1)
Learner Assessment Pack Produced 17 June 2022
© Precision RTO Resources
b. Cash flow budgets
The primary purpose of using a cash flow
budget is to predict your business's ability to
take in more cash than it pays out. This will give
you some indication of your business's ability
to create the resources necessary for
expansion, or its ability to support you, the
business owner.
c.
Departmental budgets
Departmental budgeting offers more control
over spending at the department level, allowing
teams to analyze performance in a granular
way. Benefits include risk management and the
ability to see which areas are profitable and
which are not.
d. Project budgets
A project budget is the total projected costs
needed to complete a project over a defined
period of time. It's used to estimate what the
costs of the project will be for every phase of
the project. Creating a project budget is a
critical part of the project planning process.
e. Purchasing budgets
A purchases budget is created to keep track
of the company's inventory value and the
amount of goods sold. It also is used to help
you keep track of your desired ending
inventory value each month. The purchases
budget is often just a partial budget for a
business and is often found in a business
master budget.
f.
Sales budgets
The sales budget is a planning tool that allows
companies to manage resources and profits
based on expected sales. It takes into account
previous sales patterns and budgets for similar
time periods so that each department can have
a big-picture idea of where they stand
financially.
g.
Wages budgets
Salaries make up the greatest portion of the
expenditure budget. It is important for
organizations to create salary budgets because
it helps organizations understand what
percentage of their overall budget should go to
payroll. Knowing your salary budget helps your

company to stay on track throughout the year.
h. Whole of organisation budgets
An organisation budget is a total planned
budget for an organisation for a given time
period, and these can be broken down into
different programmes or areas of work.
These budgets are published in organisation
files. IATI recommends that organisation files
contain budgets for the next three fiscal
years.
Financial Factors
Importance of Financial Factors in Preparing
Financial and Statistical Reports
a. Cash flow
Cash flow is defined as the amount of money
entering and leaving your business over a given
period of time. Cash flow is important
because it enables you to meet your
existing financial obligations as well as plan
for the future.
b. Commercial account activity
A commercial account is usually a checking or
other type of demand deposit account,
meaning the money can be withdrawn at any
time. Commercial banking account customers
are also offered services, such as credit
products, cash management, and investments.
c.
Commission earnings
Employers offer a commission to motivate
their employees and make them more
productive and generate more sales and attract
customers. Sales and marketing jobs in many
industries, such as automobiles and real estate,
generally offer commission-based
compensation.
d. Covers
The cover of a book works as a salesman to its
audience, and the cover needs to be recognised
SITXFIN009 - Manage finances within a budget (Release 1)
Learner Assessment Pack Produced 17 June 2022
© Precision RTO Resources
as an important tool – not just to service its
original purpose, which is to protect and bind
the pages of a book (you can read more
about the evolution of the book cover in our
blog here).
e. Financial returns
Return on investment, better known as ROI, is
a key performance indicator (KPI) that's often
used by businesses to determine profitability of
an expenditure. It's exceptionally useful for
measuring success over time and taking the
guesswork out of making future business
decisions.
f.
Daily, weekly and monthly
transactions
To keep the inside track on everything that’s
happening within your project, checking in on
team members daily can help you keep your
finger on the pulse of the project. The most
important difference with getting a daily
project status report is that they shouldn’t take
up too much of an employee’s time.
A week is a great short-term waypoint to check
in and get more detailed information about
how a team member is managing with their
task strand. It allows for a more detailed
picture to be painted of what has been done
over the past working week and whether or not
goals and direction are still aligned.
Depending on project length, a monthly project
status report can often be the most long-term
reporting period available to a project manager.
This means that they are often most effective
as overall review tools, with team members
giving their opinion on how tasks were handled.
g.
Expenditure
Public expenditure is considered as an
important tool of fiscal policy. Public
expenditure creates and increases the scope
of employment opportunities during
depression. Thus, public expenditure can
prevent periodic cyclical fluctuations.
SITXFIN009 - Manage finances within a budget (Release 1)
Learner Assessment Pack Produced 17 June 2022

h. Income
As investors, we know that income is an
essential component of total return. Income
clearly demonstrates its importance in the
fixed-income market, but is also critically
important in equities, real estate and
currency investing.
i.
Occupancy rates
Occupancy rate in hotels is an important KPI
for hotel revenue management in order to
understand how many of the available rooms
are actually being used. Furthemore,
knowing this number can help you better
understand important information about
your hotel.
j.
Sales performance
In order to secure more sales, agents have to
be connecting well with customers. Tracking
your sales performance also sets you up to
meet or exceed your company's revenue goals.
The formula is pretty simple: the more sales
your reps close, the more revenue your
company generates.
k.
Staff costs
Staffing costs are usually an MSP's biggest
expense, and a common beginner's mistake is
to underestimate this cost. Ultimately, having a
good grasp of these costs can be the difference
between your company turning a healthy profit
or barely breaking even.
l.
Stock levels
The purpose of stock control is to reduce the
costs of holding stock while ensuring you can
meet customer demand and making sure that
there's enough material for production.
Businesses
should
always
have
a
'safe'
amount of stock so that they're able to react
and cover any unforeseen issues.
m. Variance in income or expenditure
The result could be greater income than
originally forecast. Conversely, an unfavorable
variance occurs when revenue falls short of
the budgeted amount or expenses are higher
than predicted. As a result of the variance, net
income may be below what management

originally expected.
n. Wastage
It is a quantity loss of material in the process
of producing goods. Waste is brought into
record by comparing the input quantity with
the output quantity. Waste may occur due to
shrinkage, smoke, weight loss and evaporation
causing the material to become waste. They are
material losses causing a quantity loss.
o. Yield
Since a higher yield value indicates that an
investor is able to recover higher amounts of
cash flows in their investments, a higher value is
often perceived as an indicator of lower risk
and higher income.

Budget Terminologies
Definition of Budget Terminologies
a. Budgeting cycle
The budget cycle consists of different phases:
preparation and formulation, approbation by
a vote, execution, revision, and control of the
budget. The budget refers to a fiscal year, and,
sometimes, the budget covers a period larger
than the fiscal year (multi-year budget).
b. Income
The term “income” generally refers to the
amount of money, property, and other
transfers of value received over a set period of
time in exchange for services or products.
c.
Expenses
An expense is the cost of operations that a
company incurs to generate revenue. As the
popular saying goes, “it costs money to make
money.” Common expenses include payments to
suppliers, employee wages, factory leases, and
equipment depreciation.
d. Projected profit
Also known as the profit and loss (P&L)
statement, you just deduct your expenses from
your revenue. If your expenses exceed
revenue, look for ways to reduce costs or
increase sales.
Your projected income statement will show
you how much net profit you'll have after
you've deducted all of your expected expenses.
e. Assets
An asset is a resource with economic value that
an individual, corporation, or country owns or
controls with the expectation that it will provide
a future benefit. Assets are reported on a
company's balance sheet. They are bought or
created to increase a firm's value or benefit the
firm's operations.

a. Briefly explain the importance of budget control in the organisation.
The importance of budgetary control is reflected from the fact that it helps the management to
efficiently track the company's performance. Such monitoring ensures that the deviation of the
company's actual performance from the budgeted one is always under the scanner and can be
rectified before it is too late.
b. Briefly explain how budgets are used to control costs of the organisation.
Budgeting helps you see flaws in in your financial plans and anticipate possible cash flow
problems. At the same time, you can identify the key costs in your business and find opportunities
to cut unnecessary spending and reduce your overheads.
c.
Briefly explain how budgets are used to enhance profitability of the organisation.
It enables the business owner to concentrate on cash flow, reducing costs, improving profits and
increasing returns on investment. Budgeting is the basis for all business success. It helps with
both planning and control of the finances of the business.
Budgeting Techniques
How Budgeting Technique is Used to Maximise
Budget Performance
a. Incremental budgeting
Incremental budgeting is the traditional
budgeting method whereby the budget is
prepared by taking the current period's budget or
actual performance as a base, with incremental
amounts then being added for the new budget
period.
b. Activity-based budgeting
Activity-based budgeting (ABB) is a method of
budgeting where activities that incur costs are

recorded, analyzed and researched. It is more
rigorous than traditional budgeting processes,
which tend to merely adjust previous budgets
to account for inflation or business
development.
c.
Zero-based budgeting
Zero-based budgeting tries to achieve an
optimal allocation of resources to the parts of
the business where they are most needed. It
does this by forcing managers to justify every
activity in their department as they know that,
until they do this, the budget for their
department is zero.
d. Value proposition budgeting
As its name implies, value proposition
budgeting (VPB) is all about driving value. This
means that you’ll have to justify expenses. But
when you evaluate every cost item, you also
know how much value every dollar spent should
bring in.
