Literature has supported the claim that budgeting is a means for facilitating
and enabling the process by which resources are acquired, allocated among
subunits and consumed in the achievement of organizational objectives.
Effective implementation of budgets enables a firm to effectively and efficiently
utilize its resources (Horngren, 2003). (Gachithi, 2010) did a research to
investigate the challenges facing budget implementation in Public institutions,
a case study of the University of Nairobi. The researcher found that the
universities budget preparation procedures are not efficient especially because
lower level staff do not take ownership. (Mawathe, 2008) did a research to
investigate the challenges of budget implementation in the Banking Sector
Industry in Kenya. The research found that there were enormous challenges in
budget implementation in the sector. (Muthinji, 2009) also did the research on
budget implementation in public sector, a case study of Commission of Higher
Education. The study found that the budget implementation and controls was
a big challenge within public sector.
(Yemisrach and Mulugeta, 2012) did a research to assess the challenges and
opportunities of implementing program budgeting systems (PBS) in two
selected Federal Ministries in Ethiopia. The finding demonstrated that quite
impressive progresses have been registered in revising the program budget
manual and training modules, significant program budget training, and
piloting of Program budget at federal level and gradual improvements on the
budget submission formats. Equally important, however, there are challenges
that deserve serious attention.
There are different budget users at different level of finance Bureau and each of
the budget users has the responsibility of preparing and utilizing budget. In
budget preparation, allocation and utilization.
There are some problems encountering, in the case of Jimma finance office the
problems can be categorized in different way: On each level of budget users and
On Planning and Budget Department of the finance office.
In many of the budget users, gaps are observed in organizing their plans as per
the strategy of the Finance office; with regard to budget planning and
utilization, the annual report of the finance office shows the existence of week
efficiencies in budget preparation, utilization and allocation. Some of the
deficiencies identified in the report are: there is no strong follow up and control
by successive leaders on the budget preparation, allocation as well as
utilization at each respective budget users; each budget users unable to report
comparisons of utilized and Unutilized budget including the reason why it is
not consumed.
Besides to this, there is recommendation given by bureau of finance and
economic development (BOFED) as if there are unutilized budget by finance
office that can be used for other developmental activities. On the other hand,
Planning and Budget Department of the finance office has a lion’s share Role to
follow-up the implementation of finance office budget whether it is prepared
and Utilized for the intended purpose or not. In this regard, there is no strong
way in budget reporting, supervising and controlling system by the finance
office budget department for each level of budget users and problems would
arise for weak budget preparation and utilization as reported by BOFED. This
problem requires further investigation with scientific approach how the budget
preparation, allocation and utilization proceeded within the Jimma finance
office.
The research will concentrate on the assessment of the preparation, allocation
and utilization of budget in Jimma finance office. Little has been done to
evaluate/determine the cause that probably affects the preparation and
utilization of budget in Jimma finance office. The research thus bridges an
evident research gap as there is no document to the best of researcher
knowledge that reports any study on the probable causes that may hinder the
budget preparation, allocation and utilization of budgeting in the Jimma
finance office.
In many of the budget users, gaps are observed in organizing their plans as per
the strategy of the Finance office.
1.4. Research questions
Based on the above clarification the researcher raises the following basic
questions that should be answered in this course of study.
1. How to asses budget utilization in the organization?

1.6. Significance of the study
The significances of the study are to create awareness to the organization
about budget utilization and controlling; helps to increase the research’s
experience and ability and also the organization to know what looks like its
budgeting system after this study has conducted and give away for other
researcher who wants to make further investigation in the area of budget
practice and to conduct detailed research on issue.
The main concern of this study is to see the importance of budget preparation,
allocation and utilization in gurage zone finance department. Here, the focus
area of this research is how the department plans, establish and evaluate the
budget.
Even though, many problems may be found in the area, this study focus on the
problem related to budget preparation, allocation and utilization section.

Chapter Two:
Literature review
2. Budget and budgeting concept
Capital budget
A plan of proposed capital outlays and means of financing them for the current
fiscal period. It is usually a part of the current budget.
Current budget
The annual budget prepared for and effective during the present fiscal year or
in the case of some state government (Lynn and freeman 1983: pp55-56).
Fixed budget are those in which preparation are for a specific fixed dollar
amount and may not be exceed because of changes in demand for
governmental goods or services. On the other hand, expenditure authorized by
flexible budget are fixed per unit of goods or services but are variable in total,
according to demand for either production or delivery of the goods or services.
One component of the federal budget is a grant from the federal government to
the state governments. The allocation of grant is determining by the federation
council, which bases their decision on a formula that includes variables such
as the population in each state and the capacity of each state to generate their
own revenue. The states with less capacity to generate their own revenue are
entitled to get a larger allocation of this money.
The state government follows similar budget planning and preparation
procedures to the federal government regional finance bureaus prepare ceiling
for expenditure by the. Regional bureaus for each sector, which include
allocations for capital and recurrent expenditure. This is done after the grant
for each state from. The federal government is announced. The finance bureaus
at the zonal and woreda levels also follow this process at their levels of the
administration. The regional finance bureaus their submit their budget
proposals to the regional councils for approval. Once the budget proposal
would be approve, they are published in the regional Negarit Gazeta (Ministr of
finance, proclamation No. 57/1996).
Performance approach
The performance approach originates near to turn of the century and came in
to popular usage in the fifties. This approach embodies shifting of in phases
from object of expenditure to measurable performance of activities and work
program. The primary focuses in an evaluation of the efficiency with which
existing activities are being carried out its primary tools are cost accounting
and work measurement. The total budget for an agency would be the sum of
the products of its unit cost standards multiplied by the sum of the products of
its unit cost standards multiplied by the expected unit of activity in the
oncoming period. The enacted budget is viewed somewhat as a performance
contract between the legislate branch and the chief executive. The most
important contribution of this approach it its emphasis on the inclusion on the
need to measure output as well as input. The performance budget emphasizes
the activities for which funds are requested.
The performance approach provides the chief executive with and additional
revenue of control over his subordinates, rather than being restricted merely to
how much has his subordinate spend; he may evaluate the performance of
activities in terms of dollar and activity unit standards. (Lynn and Freeman,
1983).
The program and planning – programming budget approach (PPB).
The national council on governmental accounting (NCGA) defined a program
budget where in expenditure are based primarily on program of work and
secondarily on character and object a transitional type of budget between the
traditional character and object class budget. On the other hand program
budget in refers to a planning oriented approach which emphasizes up on
evaluation or control performance measurement is not prefer quest to program
budgeting or budget it may be a useful act.
The major distinctive characters tics of PPB are.
1. Future year implication are explicitly identified
2. All pertinent costs are considered.
3. It focuses on identifying the fundamental objective of the government
and the relating all activities to these regardless of organizational
placement).
4. Systematic analysis of alternatives is performed.
Among the benefits to state and locality attributed to the PPB approaches
are:
- Plans and programs are reviewed continuously
- Inter government planning is improved.
- Inter agency coordinating of program is strength.
Chapter Three:
This is the procedure that guides the investigator in the process of data
collection, analyzing and interpretation of data. It provides a systematic plan of
procedures for the researcher to follow; a research design is the arrangement of
conditions in collecting and analyzing of data in a manner that aims to
combine reliance to the research purpose with economy in procedure (Kothari,
2006). Therefore, in this study the researcher uses a descriptive method of
research on the budget preparation, utilization and allocation of jimma Zone
finance organization.
3.2. Study area
This study will conduct on budget preparation allocation and utilization in
Jimma zone Jimma town Bureau of finance and economic development which
is located in the Oromia National Regional State, Southwest Ethiopia. Jimma
town is the capital and administrative center of the Zone and is located at a
distance of 350 km away from the capital of Ethiopia- Addis Ababa.
3.3. Population
The population of the study was comprised of 80 employees who are working
within the organization at jimma zone finance organization. Departments was
focus were accounting and finance departments and other sections including
human resource, planning, project, distribution, generation, transmission and
procurement department.
Primary data refers to type of data in which the researcher collects data directly
from the field. It is also referred to as first hand data obtained from the field; it
is usually collected through various methods as observation, questionnaires
and experiment.
The following include primary methods of data collection that will use:
Questionnaires
Interview
These include data that have been already collected and readily available from
other sources. It covers all published or second-hand information such as
books, documents, journals, statistics, financial reports and the like. These
kinds of data are cheaper and quickly obtainable than primary data. The
researcher was used secondary source of data collection methods; which obtain
through review and select materials such by reviewing organization’s financial
reports (2019 to 2021), corporate budget reports (2019 to 2021 of the
organization.
After data collection, data analysis was intended to derive descriptive statistics
by classifying, organizing and summarizing the data into tables. Data analysis
was assist with the use of Microsoft Excel for analysis basing on descriptive
analysis. Data was systematically presented according to theme following the
chronology of research objectives that enabled easy interpretation of the
findings.

The organizations budget adjusted in the year are classified as jimma town and
jimma zone woredas; adjusted, the year expenditure and variance budgets. So the
budget adjusted for the bureau in 2011 total budget birr 3,577,760,517.46.
However the variance of adjusted budget and the current year expenditure are birr
149,347,306.02. And we can see that for the year 2012 the total budget adjusted
was birr 4,067,392,130.41 and the actual current year expenditure were birr
3,965,486,712.02 and the rest birr 101,905,418.39 was the variance for the year.
Also in the budget year of 2013 total budget birr 5,248,301,014.05, the year
expenditure is birr 5,133,124,841.76. However the variance of adjusted budget
and the year expenditure are birr 115,176,172.29.
Generally one can understand from the above manual report; the organization
(Jimma zone finance and economic development) faces the problems of under
utilization of budget for different activities they were performed in particular
year. Even if there were no 100% efficiency of budget. The result indicated that
the organization to reaction to its weakness and identify the course of the
problem of under utilization of budget and give appropriate solution to the
problem to minimize the variance for the activity they performed in that year.
CHAPTER FIVE
Summary, conclusion and Recommendation
Depending on the data analyzed before, the researcher has concluded that
there is no fair budget allocation among woreda and this cause budget deficit
in some woreda. And there is budget problem related to budget system. Like: -
Lack of proper monitoring and controlled by MOFED and Improper recording or
budget entries are observed. And also Problem there related to budget request
are obtained by the researcher data analysis output; like inappropriate budget
request and accepting budget request without examining their relevance,
timing and fairness; not spending money according to budget title, this
problems are the results of inaccurate development plane week internal
control. In addition the organization makes inappropriate budget transfer and
do week implementation of budgetary system that developed by MOFED in the
organization. Quarterly budget reports of the organization are under utilization
of budget. The causes for this under utilization are inappropriate budget
allocation and lack of deep preplanned habit (Experience).
Recommendations
As mentioned earlier there are problems which hinder the smooth flow of
budgeting process and related activities. The researcher gives
recommendation as a solution that assumed to avoid or reduce identified
problems. These are as follows:
Institutional budget allocation should be fair and take into account the
woreda and city development plans.
Use appropriate budget transfer to minimize budget deficit among
departments and woreda.
There must be full implementation of budgetary system that developed by
MOFED in the organization.
And ask appropriately to higher government body for additional budget by
identifying the budget items which high impact due to budget shortage for
the organization goal.
Budget revision is very important either systematic, quarterly updating of
budget administration is the procedure for revising a budget after it has
been approved clearly; if it can be revised till the budget there would be no
point reviewing and approving in the first instance.
It is better to the organization to use projection. Actually a budget differs in
several aspects from forecast or projection. A projection is not prediction but
one estimation of what will happen if various conditions and situations
should exist.
Even though there is a budget to train workers, it is under practical.
Therefore, it is better to use the budget to the right position.
The organization should hire well experienced workers in order to achieve
the organization goals and objective to have effective and efficient utilization
of budget.
The organization should provide the opportunity to professional employees
to participate in budget planning process and assign authority and
responsibility for good preparation of budget plan and utilization.
The organization should adopt integrated budget control system or sound
budget controlling mechanism in order to avoid the problem of under or
over utilization of budget this could be done by using accounting system (i.
e record the fund available and expense incurred, and transferred the
amount form subsidiary ledger to general ledger account balances.
The organizations budget amount is not sufficient so to sufficient this
amount use mechanism fund budgetary activity.
The finance department should use appropriate allocation of budget and
control its implementation by adopting good coordination system with
department manager.
Recommendation for future researcher: -I recommend for the researchers
for the future to assess about the organization takes corrective action on
planning, allocating and utilizing budget; and to assess the budgetary
performance for this organization in that time.
