Due to the variances between the planned/estimated and actual budget for the last quarter, the partners of Stay Healthy Medical Practice Pty Ltd have asked for a financial management report. This report is to review and evaluate the company’s financial management processes so that the monitoring and control of finances can be improved. Background information on the company and report requirements – points to consider.
? In task 2 strategies were developed to minimise risk in the areas of revenue, operating expenses and profitability; task 3 highlighted areas of variance between the planned/estimated and actual budget.
? Does the company have processes in place to monitor actual expenditure and control costs on a regular basis?
o If you consider the information in this Case Study it would appear that some accounting figures are estimated and/or averaged and the activities undertaken are basic at best. Are these measures detailed and often enough?
o What data is required to analyse the effectiveness of a financial management process?
? What recommendations would you make to Stay Healthy Medical Practice Pty Ltd regarding their budget variances in light of the expected worsening economic conditions (task 2)?
o What contingency plans would be required to keep the business financially healthy? This includes how you will implement, monitor and modify them as necessary.
? Even if you come up with a brilliant plan to monitor and control finances, how will you implement the plan and monitor for improvements without interfering with the financial objectives of the organisation?
Please speak with your facilitator if you do not understand what is required.
