This study was directed at the Evaluation of Budgeting and Budgeting Controls in a Manufacturing Organization. The study aims at identifying the relationship between budgetary control and performance of the selected organization. The company selected as the sample for this study was the Poli Water, a unit of the Ado Poly Ventures Limited. The research design adopted in this research is the stratified sampling method using the simple random sampling technique. Pearson’s coefficient of correlation was used to establish the relationship between budgetary control and performance of the organization. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used to gather the relevant data; questionnaires were personally administered and interview conducted with the manager of the firm.
