Accounting Variances

Once a budget is established, one of the main financial tasks for the operations or support manager is to explain variances between actual performance and the budget.

Rarely does life work out exactly according to budget. Any large company, and most others, will require managers to review and explain any variances on the budget variance report.

Format for the Budget Variance Report

Budget variance reports, sometimes known as monthly operating reports or departmental reports, are created from the general ledger system and have rows of statistics, revenues and expenses. The titles will be listed in a column down the left side, or sometimes in the middle of the report.
