Reading Monthly Budget Reports
How to read and use monthly budget management reports.
[Structure of the monthly report]
Budget Management → Monthly Report
- 1.Month budget: the monthly budget set at the start of the period
- 2.Month actual: actual spend/costs for the month
- 3.Achievement rate: Actual ÷ Budget × 100
- 4.Month variance: Budget − Actual (+ within budget, − over budget)
- 5.Cumulative budget: budget from period start to this month
- 6.Cumulative actual: actuals from period start to this month
- 7.Full-year landing estimate: projected year-end result if the current pace continues
[What to check]
- Line items over budget (shown in red)
- Whether the landing estimate exceeds the annual budget
- Seasonality (e.g., March tends to rise at fiscal year-end)
[Drill down]
Department → line item → individual transactions to analyze causes.
[Report delivery]
Can be emailed automatically on a set day each month (for executives and department heads).
