Hello everyone, What are the primary benefits of using flexible budgets in the planning and control of an organization's finances? Are there any potential drawbacks or challenges associated with implementing flexible budgets? A flexible budget utilizes data from operations to better plan throughout the year (Mahoney, 2022). Unlike a static budget, which is a good starting point, a flexible budget allows you to stay updated with actual sales and production throughout the budgeted period. The adjusted information throughout the year gives companies a better outlook on how the year-end will look. I think the most significant benefit of flexible budgeting is it allows management to change their strategies based on issues or opportunities that they see during operations.

- 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.
