}A flexible budget is one which, by recognising cost behaviour patterns, is designed to change as volume of activity changes
}A flexible budget should represent what the costs and revenues were expected to be at different activity levels. It is particularly useful for control as the original (fixed) budget can be flexed toshow the costs and revenues for the actual level of activity.
}This type of budget provides two keybenefits:
1.Managers are better prepared for a rangeof scenarios
2.Variances can be based on the mostsuitable budget.
}In budgetary control systems managers should always compare performance against a flexed budget.
