managing cost of its products.
There are two types of cost accounting system, Job Order Costing & Process Costing. Job

Rissanen, 2019).
 Batch Costing Method- A method which calculating cost of each job is known as batch
costing method. Batch contains number of units but it is not necessary that each batch
will contain same number of units(Kastberg and Siverbo, 2016).
 Process Costing Method- A costing method used to determine cost of each production
unit. This method is very useful for business organisation as it helps in ascertaining cost

Methods used for management accounting reporting

are integrated as for preparation of budget report an estimation of cost of manufacturing of goods
& services are required and this is become possible by implementing cost accounting system in

evaluated which helps in preparation of performance report.
On the other hand, According to (Chenhall and Moers, 2015) managerial reports are

are used for analysing manufacturing of products & services. Records are beneficial for company
in making budget and analysing cash flows while management accounting is not helpful in
analysing overall profitability & performance of firm.

Pros & Cons of planning tools used in budgetary control
Budgetary control is a method through which financial performance of business can be
maintained by setting up goals and achieving them by preparing future financial plan (Shields
and Shelleman, 2016). Tools that are used by organisations in budgetary control are discussed
below-
Zero Based Budgeting- Zero Based Budgeting is a method of preparation of budget
according to which financial plan of company is prepared in every year. Firm does not make plan

economic situations and demand &
supply of products of ABC Ltd in this
method which is its biggest advantage.
 Budget prepared by using this method
is cost effective as each cost is
evaluated and this in turn helps
company in maximising its profits &
revenues.
 Disadvantage of this method is it
consumes much time as all data are
analysed from zero base.
 This method also require huge cost as
each cost & expenses are evaluated
which needs experts (Azudin and
Mansor, 2018).
Activity Based Budgeting- Activity Based Budgeting is also a planning tool used by
companies for preparation of budget (Kastberg and Siverbo, 2016). In this method budget is
prepared for each activity performed in ABC Ltd. According to this method income & expenses
are estimates for each production activity. Thus, this method improves efficiency of each of
business process which in turn leads to over all growth of ABC Ltd. Pros & Cons of this method

Budgeting prior assumptions related to
demand of product is required and
which leads to inaccuracy of budget.
Incremental Budgeting- A budget of financial plan prepared on the basis of past years
budget is known as Incremental Budget (Holopainen, Niskanen and Rissanen, 2019). This tool is

efforts as all data are collected for
previous years budget (Spraakman and
et.al., 2015).
 This method of budgetary control is
very simple.
 This method is not much effective as
budget does not reflect current
economic situation of country which in
turn reduces profits of ABC Ltd.

operations which declines performance
& productivity of firm,
Use of planning tool in preparation & forecasting of budget
Planning tools which are used in preparation & forecasting are discussed below-
Sales Budget- Its is a planning tool used for forecasting sales of company for upcoming
financial year. It also helps in manufacturing of goods because if amount of future sales is

future sales of ABC Ltd further helps company in preparing its over all financial budget thus, this
planning tool is useful for budget forecasting.
This tool is applicable in forecasting budget because with accountant of ABC Ltd can
allocate funds to different department such as manufacturing department, marketing department
and various other department. It also helpful in determining future profits of business (Ahmad
and Mohamed Zabri, 2015).
Operating Budget- This planning tool is used in preparation of budget for over all
operations of business on the basis of future sales forecasting. This budget includes all cost,
expenses and incomes of ABC Ltd. Thus, this planning tool can be applied for future budget

Dobroszek, 2016). By using this planning tool a firm can decide its future goals & objectives and
with this future profits of company can be estimated.
Cash Budget- It is a financial plan which includes a detailed plan of future cash inflows
and outflows of firm. ABC Ltd. can apply this tool in forecasting of its future budget as it shows

final budget of firm thus, it is applicable to future forecasting of companies overall income &
expenses(Kaplan and Atkinson, 2015).
Static Budget- A future financial plan which contains details of future income and
expenses. This budget is rigid and a manager is not required to make changes in this budget
according to changing business situation. This budgeting tool is not useful in changing market
situations(Holopainen, Niskanen and Rissanen, 2019).
Flexible Budget- Allocation of funds in this budget can be change due to change in sales
volume and demand of customers. Thus, this budget is known as flexible budget and it is more
useful planning tool for Tesco as it facilitate effective utilisation of resources(Dai and
Vasarhelyi, 2017).
Rolling Budget- A budget which gets updated on a daily basis by adding new budget
period is known as Rolling Budget. This is the most efficient tool as it monitor & control cost on

this method is it requires huge cost and time(Mouritsen and Kreiner, 2016).
Kiazen Budget- This Budget is prepared with an objective of improving operational
process of a company by eliminating unnecessary cost incurred in production process. A budget
of future estimated cost is prepared in this planning tool and actual cost is controlled in
accordance with estimated cost(Steccolini, 2019).

implementing effective planning tool such as by preparing budget for each department
and using innovative skills in production process of ABC Ltd(Gurd and Helliar, 2017).
 Falling Revenue- Decrease in revenue causes due to increase in manufacturing cost or
increase in non operation cost thus. ABC Ltd is required to eliminate unnecessary cost by
adapting management accounting system at work place(Barry and Dent, 2017).
