उत्तर
The controlling function brings back the management cycle back to the planning function. The controlling function finds out how far actual performance deviates from standards, analyses the causes of such deviations, and attempts to take corrective actions based on the same. This process helps in the formulation of future plans in light of the problems that were identified and, thus, helps in better planning in future periods. Thus, controlling only completes one cycle of the management process and improves planning in the next cycle.
