1.3. Accounting for revenue, expenses and business results from the perspective of management accounting
1.3.1 Develop accounting estimates for revenue, expenses and business results.
Budgeting is one of the tools widely used by managers in planning and control. Budgeting provides enterprises with information about the entire business plan of the enterprise in a systematic manner and ensures the implementation of the set goals. In addition, budgeting also has other effects as follows: Clearly defining specific goals to serve as a basis for evaluating future implementation.
Basis for budgeting
To make a feasible annual production and business budget for an enterprise, when establishing a management budget system for an enterprise, the following bases must be relied on: The annual production and business system of the enterprise.
Enterprises, production and business estimates of previous business periods, standard cost norms, analysis of specific economic - technical - financial conditions of each enterprise.
Business consumption forecast
Consumption is the final stage of the production and business process, however, when making a consumption budget, this is the origin of the whole system.
The sales budget must address basic objectives such as: estimating planned sales volume in the budget period, estimating planned selling prices to determine planned revenue, and finally estimating the amount of money that can be collected from generated revenue.
To make a consumption estimate, we need to refer to a series of basic information.
about:
- Consumption situation of previous periods and pricing policy of the enterprise
- Market demand and competitors' prices
- Sales method and payment term
Anticipate potential difficulties to have timely and correct solutions.
Integrate all business activities by integrating the plans and goals of different departments.
When making a sales budget, it is necessary to pay attention to the business's sales policy to estimate the cash inflows related to sales in different periods.
Cost estimate
Estimated cost of goods sold and ending inventory:
The budgeted cost of goods sold gives us information about the budgeted cost of goods sold – an item on the budgeted income statement later:
Cost of goods sold is determined by the formula:
Cost of goods sold Cost of goods sold Total cost Cost of goods sold Goods sold = inventory + products - inventory Estimated beginning of period Output in the period End of period
Cost of goods sold budget includes the following indicators:
+ Direct material costs
+ Direct labor costs
+ General production costs
+ Total product cost
+ Cost of finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period
+ Cost of finished goods available for sale
+ Cost of finished goods inventory at the end of the period
+ Cost of goods sold
Estimate selling expenses and business management expenses
The selling and administrative expense budget is a budget that includes the expenses related to the sales process of a business and the general administrative expenses of the entire business.
With this budget, managers can anticipate profits at different revenue levels when they understand the costs of responding to changes in revenue. Sales costs and administrative costs usually include two parts: variable costs and fixed costs. Fixed costs will not change according to the volume of products sold, but variable costs will change. Normally, variable costs will be determined by a certain percentage of revenue such as sales commissions. Determining total sales costs and administrative costs will be calculated in 2 steps: (1) use estimated sales revenue multiplied (x) by the variable cost ratio; (2) fixed costs plus (+) variable costs to determine total sales costs and administrative costs.
Forecast of business results report
Based on the departmental budgets, the management accounting department prepares budgeted business performance reports. The budgeted figures on these financial reports represent the expectations of managers in the enterprise and can be seen as a management tool of the enterprise that allows for management decisions. It is also the basis for evaluating the implementation of the proposed budget.
This budget is prepared based on the revenue budget, cost of goods sold budget, and non-manufacturing expense budgets that have been prepared. This budget can be prepared using the full method or the direct method.

Forecast of business results report
Cash flow forecast
Cash flow forecasting is the estimation of cash inflows and outflows over the course of an accounting period.
Estimated cash receipts are added to the wages at the beginning of the period, then subtracted from the estimated cash outflows to see if there is a surplus or shortage. Normally, the cash flow forecast is made for December, so managers will use it to understand the changes in cash during the entire accounting period of the year to have measures to balance cash flow throughout the year. Cash flow forecasts can also help managers make short-term and long-term decisions about cash management. For example, managers can choose to invest idle money in securities with higher benefits instead of immediately paying off debts that are not yet due.
To prepare a cash flow forecast for this period, the business must determine the cash collection schedule and the cash disbursement schedule based on sales revenue and the value of goods purchased during the period. The accounting principle used to determine the cash flow schedule is the accrual basis principle, which means that the accountant will record the revenue arising from the transaction without basing on the actual time of cash collection.
Financial statement forecast
Including projected financial statements, projected balance sheets, and projected cash flow statements. These projections present the financial results of the business's operations for the forecast period. Forecasted statements
