Approaches to budget
(technique of budgeting)
hidayat.khan@yahoo.com
A method of budgeting in which all expenses
must be justified for each new period. Zero-
based budgeting starts from a "zero base" and
every function within an organization is
analyzed for its needs and costs. Budgets are
then built around what is needed for the
upcoming period, regardless of whether the
budget is higher or lower than the previous one.

The incremental approach to budgeting
combines the costs identified from the previous
accounting period with percentage additions.
These percentage additions are utilized to cover
two key areas which include cost increases as a
result of inflation or higher purchases costs and
predictions associated with increases in costs
and income as a result of business volume
predictions.

Fixed budgets are budgets that are drafted on the
basis of specific criteria, and do not allow any room
for any changes or variations in activity at any point
during the period of time covered by those budgets.
For businesses, this means that a fixed budget is
drafted for a calendar or operational year, and is not
amended at any time during that year, even if there
are changes in the level of business activity that
take place. This is true whether the company
experiences a sudden increase in profits or a slump
in sales.

A flexible budget is a budget that
adjusts or flexes for changes in the
volume of activity. The flexible
budget is more sophisticated and
useful than a static budget, which
remains at one amount regardless
of the volume of activity.

There are three types of expenditures that the
unit manager is directly involved in, those are
personnel, operating, and capital budgets
hidayat.khan@yahoo.com
The largest portion of the budget expenditures is
personnel budget; because healthcare is labor
intensive (not machines intensive).
The personnel budget includes actual worked time
(Productive time), and time the organization pays
the employee for not-working time (Non-
productive time).
Non-productive time includes the cost of benefits,
new employee orientation, employee turnover, sick
and holiday time, and
education time.

It includes such daily expenses as the cost of
electricity, repairs and maintenance, and
medical/surgical supplies (as syringes,
catheters…etc).

Capital budgets plan for the purchase of
buildings or major equipment (of long-life equal
or greater than 5 to 7 years) which is
not used in daily operations, and is more expensive
than operating supplies.
Examples of capital budget include: renovation
of a major wing in the hospital, purchasing
equipment as call-light system, hospital
beds…etc.
