- Collect the actual amounts spent or earned for each category during the event.
Step 2: Create a Comparison Table
| Category | Description | Budgeted Amount (R) | Actual Amount (R) | Difference (R) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Venue Rental | [Budgeted] | [Actual] | [Difference] | ||
| Catering | [Budgeted] | [Actual] | [Difference] | ||
| Marketing/Promotion | [Budgeted] | [Actual] | [Difference] | ||
| Speakers/Entertainment | [Budgeted] | [Actual] | [Difference] | ||

Step 3: Calculate Differences
- For each category, calculate the difference between the budgeted amount and the actual amount:
Difference=Actual Amount−Budgeted Amount\text{Difference} = \text{Actual Amount} – \text{Budgeted Amount}
Step 4: Analyze Discrepancies
- Positive Difference: Indicates that actual amounts were higher than budgeted amounts (e.g., higher expenses or higher revenue).
- Negative Difference: Indicates that actual amounts were lower than budgeted amounts (e.g., lower expenses or lower revenue).
Step 5: Identify and Address Causes
- Review the notes and context for each discrepancy to identify the reasons behind the differences.
- Determine if the discrepancies were due to changes in vendor prices, unexpected costs, higher/lower attendance, etc.
- Adjust future budgets based on the analysis to improve accuracy.
