Financial managers should budget for unforeseen changes in information technology that require large capital expenditures. They can develop improved communication with customers and provide more interactive partnerships to deliver sustainable business services on demand. When setting operating budgets, managers establish budgets for the upcoming fiscal year and then monitor and control budgets throughout the year to avoid problematic financial results or missed expectations. Best practice budgeting includes setting accurate budgets, accountability, variance monitoring, and expense management based on strategic planning and maintaining financial integrity.
