ABSTRACT

This project is concerned with budgeting as important instrument in management decision making. It sought to establish the extent to which budgeting in employed in decision making. Through medium of questionnaires and interview, data was collected from various organisation. An analysis was carried out using the statistical method of chisquare. From the analysis, it was revealed that budgeting is an important decision making instrument in an organisation and that budgeting dose not have a positive relationship with the objective and goal of an organisation unless the management of any organisation make a realistic and alienable decision. From the research efforts, it is obvious that more emphasis should be placed on budgeting to enhance more effective operation of various organisations in Nigeria.
