budget report

Spending plan document

A budget report is a document comparing planned financial allocations against actual spending over a specific period.

Organizations use budget reports to track whether departments or projects are staying within their approved limits: The quarterly budget report showed we were fifteen percent over on marketing.

The term appears in corporate, government, and nonprofit contexts wherever money requires accounting.
