Backward variances

System · June 2005

This posting is taken from an earlier response to the same question by Susan Harper, Examinations Manager at the AAT. 'Backward variances' is not a technical accounting term. It means simply the process of working backwards from a given variance to an unknown budget or actual figure, rather than, as normal, calculating an unknown variance from given budget and actual figures. This is sometimes used as a teaching method so some of you will have done it, but not under this name. I hope this helps you. Regards Malcolm St Pierre

I don't know why there are funny accents etc, so if it isn't easy to follow email me and I'll copy and paste my response into a word doc, or similar and send it as an attachment.

Here's another link
