The role of budgeting in every organization that desires progress cannot be over-emphasized. 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. Data gathered was analysed using the descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Findings from this study revealed that budgeting and budgetary control are powerful factors that influence the performance of organizations as they have a very strong mutual relationship because they give every organization the structural support to achieve its objectives, thereby maximizing performance through resource allocation and control.
