Procedures are a Basic Tool for Control

Control is a key function of the management.  
Good planning sets goals; procedures set mechanisms for ensuring those goals are met on time; and control is achieved when those goals are met.

The achievement of the programs, budgets and standards should result in the achievement of the objectives or goals that had been planned for.

Control is thus introduced to ensure that the programs, budgets and standards are really being met, and to provide a continuous means of highlighting any tendency to depart from the basic elements of the plans.

Control must involve the process of receiving key information regarding the activities of each section of the organisation, and measuring the results against pre-determined standards upon which the plans are based.

Planning must be applied in all the activities of the organisation, therefore control must also penetrate all important phases of the business.  From this it can be seen that the sources of information will be numerous.

Planning Needs to be based on Information

Many of the sources of information will also be storage areas, because the organisation itself contributes to the build-up of information about the business. Records and analyses which are kept from day to day are the sources of internal information.

The basic task of control procedures is to minimise cost and maximise revenue.

Many forms of control, such as quality control, contribute to possible excess expenditure, or decrease in turnover.  For various reasons, such as decor, service etc., dissatisfied customers will not return and they will help to create a bad reputation for the business. This will result in low turnover.

Only relevant information, which results in decision making and action, is useful to management. Producing wasteful information is itself a time consuming and costly operation which will contribute to high expenditure.
