incurred to produce goods and services. (Swayne, Duncan and Ginter, 2012). According
to the principle cost must be passes from a function of organisation, if not then it will not
consider as a total cost of services. Cost is charged after its incurrence: A cost which is not incurred in production process,
will not be charged from the customers. For example: in company wastage are born by
the production process which is normal loss for the firm but it is not considered in total
cost of production. Double entry principle: Every financial transaction had a double entry system which
helps the management in reducing error at the time of preparing cost sheet. The system is

managers.
 Past cost should not include in future cost: As per the principle, past costs of the
company are not to be included in the future cost (Conway, 2013). If firm will include
past cost in the future then it will lead to increase cost and price of products and services.

fund on monthly basis in increasing pattern. In the month October fund allocation by government
is £150000, in the month November £155000 and in December fund allocation is worth
£170000. On the other hand in cash inflow, income is generated by company itself is worth
£20000, £38000 and £46000 in the month ending October, November and December
respectively. Financial shortfalls is in month October is worth £3800 which is unfavourable
situation and impact to adversely on the business.
To reduce and manage financial shortfalls company should review all the necessary
expenses and bills which paid, manager should include all expenditures related to business,

easily convertible in cash and not used to generate sales.

manipulate accounting and financial statements. It is a deceitful practice where managers are
intended to gain financial and personal by deceive others. From this goodwill or brand image of

and financial transactions to measure reliability of every treatment (Barquet and et.al., 2013). It
is not necessary that maker of the statements are checker of that, in this manager needs to appoint
a person who can analyse and check the transactions which lead to reduce number of frauds. To
identify evidence of suspected fraud she needs to analyse that where and due to which reason
fraud is occurs. In the residential home fraud can be suspected by kitchen manager, to reduce this
fraud she requires using CCTV cameras in kitchen. She needs to make positive changes to
prepare financial aspects as well as she requires securing the data of company. Data are steal and
hacked by employees and hackers by which situation of fraud occurs, so security will be very
helpful to reduce frauds in residential care. Hence, from the above methods she can overcome

In order to this there are other methods which are helpful to overcome frauds which occur

ways by which management can control and monitor budgeting process in firm. Several methods
are given as below: Variance analysis: It is a method used to compare budgeted data with the actual data in a
business (Van Asselt and Zelli, 2014). As per the process the manager can analyse that
whether a company is able to meet expected data and achieve objectives or not. When

formulate effective strategies by which budget can be control. It is widely used method to
evaluate budget and analyse about the forecasted and actual data. Forecasting: Another method of monitoring and controlling a budget is forecasting
where management forecast business performance for upcoming years. Data are
forecasted on the basis of past performance of the firm and past financial data. As per the
method project manager is able to reduce problems in future which are occurred in the
past, it will lead to control the budget in future years.
 Performance review: As per the method budget is analysed that it is going in a right
direction or not. If any problem is happened then corrective action can be taken by
management by which budget can effectively control and manage. It will help to the
organisation to improve performance of the business in industry where it operates

TASK 4
4.1 Identifying information for purpose of decision making in order to offer level of services
Decisions in a business are cannot be made based on guessing and thinking, there should
be a proper information as well as valid data. Level of services are measure in terms of quality

14

 Management accounting: It is a process to prepare financial and accounting statements
which provide accurate and proper financial informations to the management of
residential home. With this she is able to know financial condition of business, when
financial condition is strong and profitable then better level of services will be offered to
consumers. On the other hand if the firm is not able to earn higher profit then level of
services are not better. Hence, from the financial informations she is able to take
decisions for offering level of services. Regulators: Various regulatory bodies are there which set rules and regulation for
residential homes (Hendrick and Crawford, 2014). Role of the bodies are to check quality
of products and service offered by her, check level of services and analyse about food etc.
If authority body is set a benchmark for service quality and level then she must follow
that rules. Hence, on the basis of regulatory informations decisions are made to provide
residential services to the consumers. Current and projected demand for service: Another information is related to demand of
consumers where she should identify about present as well as future demand. On the
basis of forecasted demand, decision is taken for offering service level to consumers.
 Sources of income: As per the information when sources of income are high in the care
home then high level of services will be offered while if income is low then service level
will be impact in negative manner (Edwards and et.al., 2013). So, source of income is
also important information while making decisions of provides quality of services and
products.
4.2 Analysis of relationship among services, costs and expenditures
Costs, expenses and level of services are interrelated in every business which are linked
with various elements such as follows: Pricing policies: Pricing policies of services offered by residential home are set with the
help of costs and expenditures incurred to produce the services. If costs and expenditures
are high then price will be increases as well as quality of services is also helps to
determine prices. Cost and expense of products and services are related with quality and
level of services, when cost is low then quality is provided better. On the other side cost
is high then level of good quality is not offered to consumers.
15

 Accountability: It provides facts and figures of financial position to management of the
residential care home (Wright and et.al., 2014). As per the analysis costs and expenses
are recorded and analysed by which managers can know financial performance. It helps
to determine level of services offered by the business where these all three elements are
considered and interrelated.
 Transparency with stakeholders: Customers are one of a stakeholder of business and in
present case these are plays a significant role to enhance level of financial performance.
As per this customer expect that company will provide better quality of services by which
cost and expense to produce service will increase.
Moreover, it can be said that in a residential care cost, expenses as well as level and
quality of services provided by it, all are interrelated with each other.
4.3 Evaluation of impact on individuals of financial considerations
Company needs to evaluate about various factors which affects to financial
considerations of a particular resident home (Berger, 2015). Several factors are given as follows: Quality of service: One of the most important factor is quality of services provided by a
residential home. The factor is affects to the company in positive manner, because better
quality is always attracted to more number of consumers which lead to increase sales of
the firm. Apart from this price of better quality are high by which financial performance
will be increases. When sales and prices both are high then it leads to enhance
profitability and financial performance of the firm. Access to service: It is a significant concept in health and social care sector which refers
to enter of new products and services. Under this factor company increase number of
services and enter with new services in same industry then more capital require but on the
other hand more customers attract toward new range of services. This factor will increase
profitability and influence to financial consideration in positive manner in a resident
home (Westland, 2011).
 Change in staffing levels: Staffing policy is different in every company which help to
achieve objective and goals of the firm. High and better staff level works very efficiently
and productivity also good by which production level is affected in terms of positive.
16

Furthermore, highly skilled staff is also able to use technologies and produce better
quality of services. When a resident home recruit skilled staff then quality will increase
and costs will decrease ultimately financial position enhance and impact on financial
consideration in positive way.
4.4 Recommendations which are helpful to improve services

maximization. For this organisation have to use various strategies and prepare effective plan. In
order to enhance services recommendation to the mentioned firm are given as below: Reassessment of expenditure: To improve expenditures for generating more number of
sales company should analyse every cost and expenses which are occurred while
producing services (McConaghy, 2013). In order to this company should increase quality

and evaluate value of money in a business as well as it should estimate nature of services
and products offered by the firm. From this the organisation is able to increase sales and
money which lead to evaluate value of monetary. The company should check on specific
period that whether value of price is up to which extent in the company. Costs and unit estimations per head: It is an important term where the business entity is
calculated which incurred to produce one unit. From analysing this the firm able to
