------------------------------------
Hi Ashish
Your high level process sounds OK but just be careful that your implementation
isnt too rigid. What I mean here is that a department head could be for example
an IT Manager who applies for and gets a budget but then the IT Manager has
people that work for him (eg an Infrastructure Manager and a Development
Manager) that also need to apply for and manage their budgets.
So you need to be aware that the budgets could be hierarchical and need to roll
up into a higher level budget allocation.
Another way to look at it is rather than calling them a department head - I've
heard the term 'Cost Centre Manager' used in relation to budgets because from
an accounting perspective they need to manage their budget and costs allocated
to their cost centre. Also a cost centre manager may be responsible for several
cost centres. It could make it more flexible rather than referring to a
department head since a person maybe responsible for a budget but may not be
responsible for a department.
Thanks

> 2. Budget request is submitted to board of directors/higher officials for
> approval.
> 3. Budget request is either approved or rejected.
> 4. If the budget is approved it is created as annual budget(Total cost in the
> budget is alloted to Department).
> 5. Now item wise budget is allocated to different items by Department Head.
> 6. Profits achieved can be calculated on the basis of fiscal years for a
> budget by compairing the proposed budget and the actual budget.
