Budgeting is not limited to the preparation of financial documents but also involves establishing the connection between the allocation of financial resources and the objectives and goals set by the management and accounting team. This requires a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the current situation and future forecasts.Management control is an information system that collects and manages information for the evaluation and management of organizational performance. Management control, alongside budgeting, cost calculation, and steering, constitutes an important management tool. Management control aspects are currently essential, being present in all social and economic domains.Through control, managers ensure access to dynamic, real, and preventive information, which improves the quality of decisions and results without compromising the efficient operation of businesses.
