Variance Analysis

Finance and Accounting

Variance analysis is a financial and management accounting technique that compares actual results to budgeted or planned figures to identify and explain differences. Finance professionals, controllers, and business analysts use it to investigate discrepancies in costs, revenues, or production efficiency and to inform corrective action. Common types include cost variance, price variance, and volume variance, often used in standard costing systems.
