Joe, Do you understand the concept of organizational maintenance? Budgets are not only estimates of spending and revenue but can become a means of expanding a managers importance (and therefore power and salary). It makes sense that the manager of a 10 million dollar budget should be paid more than the manager of 1 million. Doesn't It? or Does it? Or by padding you can make your budget objectives easier to meet. I'm not saying that any of this is going on, just that there may be many more motives in the numbers than just finance. The reasons for why and how budget numbers are is never a simple 'how much should it be'. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hummm. Was your experience with gambling a part of your allocation efforts at the phone company. Now, let me ask why a BUDGET should include income from funds received during the prior year but not in the prior year budget, even though it was known the funds would be received. Why not exclude beach parking profit from the budget as well. Then that would be one more "real number." Why not do the budget at the end of the fiscal year and have all "real numbers" to work with. Chuck, a budget should be the most realistic view possible of income and expenses for the fiscal year. To exclude a known income source for what amounts to no more than political purposes is to force association members to pay higher than necessary assessments.... and a PRIMARY purpose of OPA's budget is to establish the assessment. |
