Budgeting is at the heart of the performance management process for most companies. However, some argue that many companies today are dissatisfied with budgeting. It is seen to be costly and time-consuming; it inhibits action and causes organisational problems. The influence of the "Beyond Budgeting" model has caused many major companies, including Toyota, to abandon traditional budgeting altogether. Should other companies follow suit? Budgeting Practice and Organisational Structure explores the changes in budgeting through a survey of financial and non-financial managers. Concerns include: <ul>
<li>The attitudes of managers towards budgeting models</li>
<li>How budgetary practices have changed</li>
<li>What problems budgeting can cause</li>
<li>The effects of budgets on overall company performance.</li> </ul>
This report reveals that there’s little evidence to suggest widespread dissatisfaction with traditional budgeting. However, to enable a company to perform at its best, understanding budgeting in context is essential and it is imperative that budgeting works in tandem with other control systems and organisational structure.
<ul>
<li>Original research funded by the Chartered Institute of Management Accounting</li>
<li>Reveals the realities of budgeting models in practice</li>
<li>Includes interviews and surveys of actual businesses</li>

There has been much discussion whether management accounting practices are evolving to keep pace with the changing needs of companies operating in an increasingly complex business environment.  There is evidence of an increase in the use of the so-called 'advanced' management accounting techniques and the changing way in which management accounting practices are being used: from a traditional monitoring and control perspective to a more business and support-orientated perspective.  As a result, the role of the management accountant is to link financial considerations with both operating concerns and strategic priorities of the business.The Future Direction of UK Management Accounting Practice describes the current nature of management accounting practices in the UK, identifying some of the environmental changes that are driving management accounting change and discusses the impact of integrated information systems and the availability of financial information at all levels in the modern business for management accounting role.  It also explores the increasing use of non-financial performance indicators, the need to integrate operating, financial and strategic dimensions of the business and therefore the need to have a broad-based understanding of the business, with management accountants working alongside managers in cross-function teams.                                      * Describes the finding of a research project investigating management accounting change in the UK * Focuses on the difficulties involved in changing management accounting systems * Written by experts in the field of management accounting
