Answer the following. Based on your own knowledge.
1. Write a short note on budgetary control as a technique of managerial control.

- Budgetary control is a fundamental technique of managerial control used by
organizations to monitor, plan, and control their financial resources. It involves setting
financial targets and comparing actual performance against these targets to identify
variances and take corrective actions if necessary. Through budgetary control, managers
can ensure that resources are allocated efficiently, expenses are controlled, and
organizational goals are achieved.
2. Explain how management audit serves as an effective technique of controlling.

- Management audit serves as an effective technique of controlling by providing a
comprehensive evaluation of the managerial processes, systems, and practices within an
organization. It involves an independent assessment of managerial performance, decision-
making effectiveness, and the utilization of resources to achieve organizational
objectives. Through management audit, potential weaknesses, inefficiencies, and areas
for improvement in managerial functions are identified, allowing management to take
corrective actions and implement better practices.
3. Discuss the relationship between planning and controlling.

- Planning involves setting goals, objectives, and strategies to guide organizational
activities. During the planning process, managers anticipate future events, assess current
situations, and develop action plans to achieve desired outcomes. These plans serve as
benchmarks against which actual performance can be compared during the controlling
process. Effective planning provides a framework for establishing performance standards,
which are essential for measuring and evaluating performance in the controlling phase.
4. How should a company develop a staffing plan?

- A strong staffing plan starts with understanding the company's goals. Then, analyze the
current workforce's skills and capacity. By comparing those to future needs, identify any
gaps in staffing or expertise. Develop a strategy to fill those gaps, whether through
hiring, training, or restructuring. Finally, remember the plan is a living document and
should be updated as the company's needs evolve.

future staffing needs. Analyze your workload, growth plans, and budget to determine how

qualified candidates. This involves crafting job descriptions, selecting the right
recruitment channels (job boards, social media, etc.), and actively seeking out potential

resume screening, and skills testing. The goal is to shortlist the most qualified and
suitable candidates for the open positions.

and negotiate the terms of employment. Once they accept, this step involves assigning
them to a specific role and team within the company.
5. Training & Development: New hires won't be experts on day one. Providing proper
training equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to perform their jobs
effectively. Development goes beyond initial training and focuses on helping employees
continuously improve their skills and grow within the company.

- An effective staffing process brings multiple advantages. First, it ensures you hire the
right people for the job, leading to a more skilled and productive workforce. This
translates to better quality work, fewer errors, and ultimately, increased profits. Happy
and qualified employees are also more likely to stay with the company, reducing costly
