Budget Manager user guidance
Find bite-size guides to specific areas of the Budget Manager application covering navigation and useful functions.
Budget Management is the active management of budgets throughout the financial year. This includes forecasting the year-end financial position on a monthly basis using all relevant financial and performance information available to budget managers.
Once the year end position has been forecasted any differences between expected and planned spend/ income needs to be reported and explained and where possible actions taken to correct the variance. Budget Managers do not have authority to spend more than the budget allocated.
