What is Zero based public budget?

Good and wonderful question, thank him:

balancing the zero is the budget based on that each Director must be amended by the internal budget for Badarath at each session of the budget cycles (monthly - quarterly ...) (and assume a budget of zero or balancing equalizer absence of any expenses at the beginning of the fiscal year with the use of successful methods which guarantee to achieve the requirements of the institution less Talakafh)

The basic concepts of the budget was presented for the first time in the Department of Agriculture in the early 1960's but has been ignored (or avoided). In the state of Texas Instruments Inc. makes use of them in late 1960 and began the mandate Gurria Meanwhile Carter.oukd under the Jimmy Carter administration also tried to submit concepts that balancing the federal system when he was elected as president of the United States 1977 to 1980

And vary the budget of zero for conventional concepts new to the concept of a cumulative budget, which means that the current year's budget be amended so as to allow the changes planned for the following year administrative advantage of the budgets of the backlog is that the director must be based effort future (is coming) less to modify the changes in the budget (where has already done so during the balancing cycle period) using the method of zero budget director must prepare offs every year from scratch. And it should be changed every expenses (expenses) must be adjusted Whatever the differences from last year. The goal of this is to encourage the periodic re-testing for all costs in the hope that can be reduced or canceled the start of budget preparation zero is that the deeper units and related budget (ie the greatest influence) requires identification of the objectives and operations and the cost of each activity and each requires the processing of those activities (ie must to be determined) are re-evaluation of all activities and evaluating performance so that it is reallocating Ootsnev such activities in accordance with the importance of the institution (as the year begins, assuming equal view of the past, present and future and therefore the absence of any allocation of expenses shall customization and exchange in the budget on a priority basis .. as that method requires very good for all the circumstances surrounding a study where you must Altakmyat mode or the estimates of the budget are closer to reality and without using previous numbers years therefore require more effort from managers to develop a workable budget and the numbers are closer to reality) every item in the budget package is the decisions of his preparation to explain multiple levels of services that will be provided by the item with said at least one level lower than the current level (managers must provide logical reasons always explain the rationale for its budget that starts from scratch and requires them to do a review and evaluation of projects and programs under implementation and that may have been started details in the budget of its predecessor and evaluation should be more regular in terms of cost and cost-effective, efficient and leads either to reduce expenses or to avoid or stop some expenses or projects or activities that may not result in the desired ones or become useless), and accordingly, the budget zero require managers to amend any expenditure budget for each period and are reviewing all cost or the expected profit (perspective)

ZBB is a method of budgeting that is mainly used in non-profit organisations but it can also be applied to discretionary costs and support activities in profit organisations. It seeks to overcome the deficiencies of incremental budgeting.

ZBB works from the  premise that projected expenditure for existing programmes should start from base zero, within each year's budget  being compiled as if the programmes were being launched for the first time.  The budgetees should present their requirements for appropriations in such a fashion that funds can be allocated on the basis of cost-benefit analysis.

The cost-benefit approach is an attempt to ensure value for money; it questions assumptions and serves as a tool for systematically examining and perhaps abandoning any unproductive projects.

Benefits of ZBB.

1.Forces employees to avoid wasteful expenditure

2. it can increase motivation

3 it responds to changes in the business environment

4 identifies and remove inefficient or obsolete operations

However short term benefits may be emphasised to the detriment of long-term benfits.

ZBB promises to move the organization away from incremental budgeting, where last year’s budget is the starting point. Instead, the starting point becomes zero, with the implication that past patterns of spending are no longer taken as a given. To deliver on this promise, the organization is first divided up into “decision units” – the lowest level at which budget decisions are made. Decision units could be formed along functional or organizational lines – for example, a division of a department is a common decision unit, but programs could be used as well. Managers in each decision unit then prepare a detailed description and evaluation of all activities it performs, including alternatives to current service delivery methods and the spending plans necessary to achieve the decision unit’s goals. This information is used to create a number of “decision-packages,” which show marginal spending level differences that represent varying levels of effort and cost.

the budget always starts out at zero, for every time period. You start out at zero and then add every expense that you think you might have over the course of a certain time period. For example, you might look at what you expect to spend over the next quarter. Therefore, each individual department in the company has to justify each aspect of their budget for that interval. This requires a much more detailed look at each financial transaction and budget need.
