The use of financial planning and control systems is one of the factors that influence the survival of small businesses. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of financial planning and control systems contributes to the survival of manufacturing MSEs in the Tshwane metropolitan area. The development and use of financial planning and control systems in MSEs was investigated. Manufacturing MSEs were asked to disclose the financial planning and control systems being utilised. Respondents indicated that they use some form of financial planning and control, be it, on a formal or informal basis. Most of these firms had been operating for a number of years suggesting that the use of financial planning and control systems, inter alia, contributes to the survival of an entity. The more modern financial planning and control systems are not readily used by manufacturing MSEs, but could be beneficial to their survival. / Management Accounting / M. Com. (Accounting)

The activity-based costing (ABC) system shows the detailed use of resources on the organization business processes, providing important means for both a cost strategic management and operational performance measurement, being so an adequate instrument to support planning. This work analyzes the applications of an ABC system information on a health insurance budgeting process, standing out the improvement obtained in the financial forecasts development and the decision making process quality. The analysis is focused on the traditional budgeting procedures (planning and control) improvements when the company begun to use the ABC system, giving the details of its applications in product cost allocation and profitability analysis, capacity planning, activity-based cost forecasts, diagnostic variance analysis and information technology projects control. The importance of the research problem, that intends to examine if the ABC system information being integrated with the traditional budgeting process improves the effectiveness of that management instrument in services organizations, is also justified because the case study evaluates a company that takes part of the Supplement Health Services System, a widely discussed subject in Brazil nowadays. The conclusions of this research indicate that an ABC system fits as a support tool for the budgeting process, showing different approaches that could be applied or tested in other organizations. / As freq??entes cr??ticas que o processo de or??amento tradicional recebe dos usu??rios as organiza????es est??o principalmente baseadas no seu distanciamento da realidade operacional da empresa, ocasionado muitas vezes pela falta de compromisso com os n??meros planejados e a inadequa????o das informa????es que o alimentam. O sistema de custeio baseado em atividades (ABC) demonstra detalhadamente o consumo dos recursos pelos processos de neg??cio realizados nas organiza????es, fornecendo subs??dios importantes para o gerenciamento estrat??gico dos custos e acompanhamento do desempenho operacional, sendo, portanto, um instrumento adequado para apoiar o planejamento das empresas. Este trabalho analisa a aplica????o das informa????es de um sistema ABC no processo or??ament??rio de uma empresa do ramo de seguro sa??de, ressaltando o aperfei??oamento qualitativo alcan??ado no desenvolvimento das proje????es financeiras e na tomada de decis??es. A an??lise est?? focada nas melhorias apresentadas pelos procedimentos (planejamento e controle) relacionados ao or??amento tradicional a partir do uso do ABC, detalhando-se suas aplica????es a aloca????o dos custos aos produtos e an??lise de rentabilidade, dimensionamento de capacidade instalada, proje????o de custos com base nas atividades, an??lise diagn??stica da varia????o e controle de projetos de tecnologia da informa????o. A relev??ncia do problema de pesquisa, que visa examinar se a integra????o das informa????es de um sistema ABC ao processo tradicional de or??amento empresarial melhora a efic??cia deste instrumento gerencial em empresas prestadoras de servi??o, se justifica tamb??m pelo fato do estudo de caso avaliar uma empresa que faz parte do Sistema Supletivo de Sa??de, ??rea que atualmente ?? tema de amplo debate no Brasil. As conclus??es obtidas as pesquisa apontam para adequa????o do sistema ABC como ferramenta de apoio ao processo or??ament??rio, apresentando diferentes abordagens que poderiam ser aplicadas ou testadas em outras organiza????es.

M. Tech. (Department of Accountancy, Faculty of Management Sciences), Vaal University of Technology. / The minibus taxi industry in South Africa is one of the biggest, fastest growing, and riskiest industries in the world. The minibus taxi industry contributes to the economy by creating over 600,000 jobs, providing fast and cheap transport and fighting poverty and unemployment. However, the recent COVID 19 pandemia restrictions has caused a sudden and movement of economic growth and competition has forced the minibus taxi industry to be competitive in all aspects. This has resulted in intense competition for minibus taxi owners. Minibus taxi owners are constantly in rivalry amongst themselves and with other public road transport providers. In early 1988, the minibus taxi industry started seeing an influx in the number of new minibus taxis and minibus owners. This influx created problems of competition within the industry and among minibus taxi owners. Due to the importance of this industry, this research study investigated whether minibus taxi owners in the Emfuleni Local Municipality apply selected management accounting principles in the management of their minibus taxi businesses. Selected management accounting principles in this study refers to cost volume profit analysis, cost structure, and budgeting. This research study followed a quantitative research design and a questionnaire was used to collect primary data from a census of 500 minibus taxi owners from the following five associations: Get Ahead Taxi Association (GATA), Vaal National Taxi Association (VNTA), Vanderbijlpark Taxi Association (VTA), Sharpeville to Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark Taxi Association (SVVTA) and Civic Centre Taxi Association (CCTA) operating in the Emfuleni Local Municipality. Using descriptive statistical analysis to present the findings, the study used Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 27. Findings obtained using an online questionnaire and printed questionnaire distributed revealed a lack of management accounting principles application among these minibus taxi owners. Furthermore, the minibus taxi owners do not apply cost volume profit analysis and most do not use budgets. However, it was found that some minibus taxi owners apply very basic cash budgeting through a pen-on-paper approach. It was also found that minibus taxi owners understand the application of cost structures. This research study recommends that minibus taxi owners should be offered training by skills sectors to apply the selected management accounting principles. The limitations of this research study included that the census was geogracial restrictions, level of education, and corona virus restrictions. Despite these limitations, the research study was able to fulfil its main objective by determining that majority of minibus taxi owners do not apply the selected management accounting principles.
