1. Budgeting is the process of allocating a company's financial resources although ethical issues is seen as a problem or situation that requires a person or organization to choose between different alternatives that must be evaluated as ethical or unethical. During the planning phase the organizations are most concerned about getting right estimates that lead to positive results. The control phase requires evaluating performance of the people working in the company by comparing actual results to the operating budget. They have to see what is best decision for the company at the end.
2. Sales and profit budget that is considerably lower than what
will likely happen causes problems for the entire organization.
Production can be short of labor or materials the causes
inefficiencies to the production process. Selling and
administrative support may be lacking due to underestimating sales.
Customers will be angry because they have to wait and the person in
charge has to do what is best for the company.
POST 2:
1. The ethical conflict that can occur between the planning control phases of the budgeting process is where someone is a manager that assists upper management in planning budget. It is possible that this manager may receive a bonus for meeting quarterly estimated profit. Therefore, if the manager sets this budget low, they are guaranteed to receive a bonus.
2. Underestimating a sales budget can have a negative impact on the organization because it may not allocate funds in order for the manufacturer to be fully functional. Factories may be short on labor and supplies.
