Hello. I'm working on an assignment BSBFIM501 Manage budgets and financial plans with Qld Tafe and having a problem understanding what is meant by the following question:

2.Explain what accounting processes would have been implemented to record these variations according to organisational protocols.Access your organisation's policies and procedures when framing your response.

It is in response to a scenario where we have a budget for the first three months of 2018.However, during the course of implementing the budget the actual total costs of operation varied from the budgeted amounts.The total cost of operations was reduced by $30,000 in March but increased by $10,000 in January and $20,000 in February; the total cost of operations for the 3 months would remain the same.

do you know what would be meant by the accounting processes to implement a variation? I don't have access to the policy or procedures.
