Abstract

Traditional budgeting process nornwlly starts with last year's budget. The new budget is merely a change of last year's figures (upwards or downwards) zero Based Budgeting (ZBB) in contrast, is founded on the concept that the need is to consider relative values, rather than comparative cost. This is a process based on organizational goals and the objectives are converting the company activities into decision package and allocating resources based on priorities/cost by the management. The ZBB gives insight to management in that area. What do our overhead department produce, what should they produce and what the cost is. We know that our transparency is zero, the management team of the country should apply the used of zero based budgeting as .this will reduce fraud in the system.
