Amazon is a prime example of a company that uses a 'Budget versus Actual' dashboard effectively. They use it to track their spending and compare it with their budget. This allows them to identify areas where they are overspending and make necessary adjustments. It also helps them to allocate resources more efficiently, ensuring that they are investing in areas that provide the best return on investment.
