Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution
The steps in budgetary control are:
- Inculcate a target of performance: The first step in budgetary control is to set a target of performance. Setting of definite or fixed plan should be first step. The responsibility of each person should be made clear before executing any budget so that a target of performance is set for every person related to the organization.
- Record the actual performance: Recording of actual performance is necessary to measure the planned action with the actual one. Information from each department should be taken so that proper projection of the actual performance of budget can be done. Identifying the total frequency of individual budget is the second step.
- Compare the performance with the target performance: The objective of budget must be clearly stated and communicated well to all the concerned people in order to compare the actual performance with the target performance.
- Analyzing differences and taking appropriate decision: If there is any difference in the actual performance of budget as compared to planned performance, the difference must be analyzed properly to control the situation.
Conclusion
Thus, comparing the actual performance of budget and analyzing the differences to take necessary actions are the main step of budgetary control.
