Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB)

Zero-based budgeting is a budgeting method where every expense must be justified from scratch for each new period rather than simply adjusting the previous year’s budget. This approach forces management to evaluate the necessity and value of each cost item. It can improve cost discipline, though it may require more time and analysis than traditional budgeting.
