Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine if a Planning Programming Budgeting System (PPBS) can be an effective tool in financial planning and management of a selected association, the American Rental Association, Inc. This was done by developing an understanding of what PPBS is and of how it has been applied in the Federal, state and local governments as well as in private industry. From what was learned in this review of PPBS, the characteristics and practices of PPBS seem most appropriate to the management needs of the American Rental Association, Inc., and it could be an effective management tool in other associations. This was shown by abstracting the key features from the system developed for the American Rental Association, Inc., and examining their applicability in other selected associations. The conclusion emerged that other associations can effectively use PPBS as an improved management tool.
