CASH BUDGETING AS A BASIS FOR DECISION MAKING. CASH BUDGETING AS A BASIS FOR DECISION MAKING
PROPOSALS

                        In management audit they attempted to aid the management of the organisation by providing it with information and analysis useful in the process of control.
            Management audit can also be significant in financial accounting area.
For many year now, stockholders, potential investors and other interested parties have been concerned with the annual reports of major co-operations and the attached letter from the president of the corporation.
Accountants have been attempting to deal with this problem for some years now and many proposals have been presented to which management audit is the one that I think that has the greatest potential for the future.  For both internal and external reporting purposes.
            Who are capable for appraising performance both for accounting data and management analysis.  If this appraisal were made and an opinion rendered, the management audit would be of significant benefit to internal and external parties alike.
            The purpose of the audit is being the attestation of management’s representations of an independent examiner.  By attestation I refer tot he reliability of management statements regarding its own decisions as proven by an independent third party.
            The auditor’s financial statement examines the performance of the company accountable tot he stockholders for its decision.
            Also management audit is a way of evaluating the performance of management in regard tot he decisions made, the efficiency of its operating and the attainment of corporate goals.
            To this date, there has been little empirical research to determine the potential value of the management audit to users of the willingness of management audit process.
            However, the management audit concepts it carefully designed could prove to be a most important development in the management appraisal field.  With a view to improving management efficiency.
            This research is intended to investigate the extend to which management auditing is applied by organization in Nigeria.
For example it is utilized by organisation as a tool of improving management efficiency made.
            This research involves, library work, periodicals and consulted published professional journals.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1              INTRODUCTION
                        “For which of you desiring to build a tower does not first    sit and account the cost whether he has enough to complete it”            (Lk. 14:28).
            Every rational economic unit has some objectives to             attain.  Individuals, corporate bodies or governments have      objectives to achieve.  To achieve their respective objectives,           resources have to be made available.  Unfortunately nature did             not distribute her resources abundantly, whilst objectives and            needs are numerous and varied as there are various economic           units.  But the means (that is resources) to satisfy those needs    are very scarce.  Thus one has to utilize his available resources          effectively in order to realise what one want.  To maximize the      objective of an economic unit requires that one has to plan.
            Planning, therefore is the process of determining the future course of action in order to attain a desired objective or a set         goal.  A business enterprise may have as its objective the      erection of an addition factory in say, seven years time.  It         therefore draws up a plan to accomplish the task it has set for itself.
            Because finance is scarce, thus each year the enterprise has to plan towards the building of the factory.  This yearly explain is          known as budgeting – a subset of corporate plan.
            To a lay man, budget is just an estimate of how to spend money.  To the government budget is an estimate of a plan of          how resources are going to be supplied and utilized stated a quantitative and monetary terms within a specified period.
                        To accountant therefore budget is a quantitative statement   in financial terms, prepared for a specific period, it may be one year for the realization of enterprise set goals.  It is thus a very         important decision-making instrument.
            A budget is defined as a financial or quantitative statement,            prepared and approved prior to a defined period of time, of the policy to be pursued for the purpose of attaining a given objective.
            (A budget is the conversion usually by segments and on short range basis of plan into figures, an accounting as it were for the future).
            A comprehensive budget is made up of functional or sub-    budgets.  Some of them are, sales budget, production budget,     material purchase budget, factory cost budget, selling and administrative budgets, capital expenditure budget etc.
            All these functional budget are summarized and compressed in        one budget called the MATER BUDGET.
                        This is defined as a total debuget in which are packaged in one statement the sale; expenses on production, capital      movement on land, equipment and cash budgets of an organization.
 CASH BUDGET
Since cash is the most active financial account in a business, the key in preparing a financial budget is therefore, a forecast of cash flows leading to a cash budget.  A cash budget is one of the most important budgets prepared in an organisation.  It shows in summary form, the expected cash receipt and expected cash payment during the budget period, liquidity and cash flow management are key successful operations of any organisation and it is with good reason that cash budget should receive close attention from accountants and managers.  A cash budget is defined as the planed cash position by interim period for a specific time span” it consists of two parts.
a.                   The planned cash receipt (inflows)
b.                  Planed cash disbursements (outflows)
            It is concerned with ways to speed up the inflow of cash, ways to delay outflow of cash, sources of cash and temporary uses of excess cash2
            Cash budget shows the effect of the budget activities selling, buying, paying wages, investing in capital equipment and so on, on the cash flow of an organisation, it is a continuous activity with budgets being rolled forwards as time progress3.
            Cash budget are prepared in order to ensure that there will be just sufficient cash in hand to cope adequately with budgeted activities.  The cash budget may show that there is likely to be a deficiency of cash in some future period in which cash over draft or loans will have to be arranged or activities curtailed or alternately the budget may show that there is likely to be cash surplus in which case appropriate investment or use for the surplus can be planned rather than merely leaving the cash idle in current account.
1.2              STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
            Budget is one of the controlling instrument by Management.
It is a plan or estimate to be attained by an enterprise.  The problem is why budget goals in some cases failed to be realised.  It is because of insufficient capital.  There are numerous needs but resources to satisfy these need are very scarce.  It is with the view to find solution to these problems that the researcher has undertaken this study with Aguata Local Government Area as a cash study.
1.3              PURPOSE OF STUDY
            This study is embark upon in order to assist organizations and other interested groups who use cash budget in decision makings.  Infact the objectives of this research are: To inform an organisation of its cash position at any point in time.  To explain how situational variable could effect budget goals and to point out budget limitations.
1.4              SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
            The significance of the cash budgeting are:
