Once the financial objectives have been set, it is possible to prepare and agree a budget.

A budget should relate the overall plan in figures. It is differenct from a forecast in the sense that the plan, and therefore the budget, sets minimum requirements, whereas forecast is usually an expectation of what is likely to happen.
