The master budget is composed of three parts:

1. the operating budget,
2. the capital expenditure budget, and
3. the cash or financial budget.

The operating budget is further decomposed into

1. the sales budget,
2. the cost of goods sold budget, and
3. operating expenses budget.

The budgeting process always starts with the sales budget.
