ABSTRACT
The research "Budgeting rn an inflationary environment a study of Binez - Hotels Ltd, Aba was designed to highlight the importance of budgeting in a very dynamic economy like ours as well as the difficulty to forecastaccurately the inflationary rate in budgeting decisions. The study addresses whether there is flexibility in budget preparation and implementation, over reliance on historical cost accounting as well as budget has a sole basis for performance evaluation. The general objective of the study was to examine budgeting· in an inflationary environment, a study of Binez ltd Aba and other objectives are to examine whether inflation affect budget decision; an establishment can operate without budget; the variance in the budget of Binez Hotel Ltd is as. a result of inflation. Hypothesis were tested with null hypothesis to show that there is no significant difference in the opion of the respondents that: increase in general price level affect budget decision; company cannot succeed without budgeting and variance in the actual and budgeted revenue and expenditure are accounted by inflation. Data were collected through questionnaires, research report and externally by textbooks while the analytical method used.was the chi-square. method (x2) to reach significant testing. The findings of this study show that thereis unsound expenditure planning in the hotel. The revenue forecast is achieved at a favourable price variance due to inflation. There iswide difference in actual and budgeted revenue achieved. The company does not adequately analyze the prevailing economic condition and market demand in its budget preparation. We therefore conclude. that budgeting is an indispensable tool for the achievement of profitability and growth. We equally believe that in busine~sorganization can forge ahead despite inflation in the economy. We recommend that there should be adequate supervision and monitoring of purchasing departmentto avoid unfavourable expenditures variance during inflation.There should be critical review of external and internal constraints by the company in budget preparation. The company should involve its workers at the preparation stage of the budget tO" achieve realistic targets and the management may decide to introduce a rolling budget when it is difficult to determine inflationary rate accurately.
