The article is dealing with the cost management mechanism, which is based on the budget planning and control method. Quantitative indicators of resources and goals allow the corporate leader to see, compare and combine different elements that are used in the operation of the organization. Budgetary method can be applied not only in the management of the enterprise in general, but in cost management as well. Budgeting is an effective quantitative method of linking planning and control.
