Any significant variance, whether favorable or unfavorable, should be investigated. A significant variance may indicate that the standard is unreasonable and needs to be adjusted. An unfavorable variance may indicate a problem requiring corrective action. A favorable variance may indicate better than expected performance. Management should investigate to determine if the methods used to generate the favorable result could be implemented again or duplicated elsewhere.
