    Budgets are business plans stated in quantitative terms that aid organizations in executing strategies. Budgets act as control tools by providing action plans to minimize deviations between actuals and plans. Managers should participate in budgeting to enhance their learning and compare actuals to plans. Budgets are also used as forecasting tools to allocate resources efficiently and integrate departmental strategies with organizational goals. The master budget includes operating and financial budgets and shows projected profits, ratios and balance sheets. Zero-based budgeting starts from zero each year rather than using the previous year's budget as a base.

    It was put into practice first time by Peter Phyrr at Texas Instruments , a world leader in digital signal processing and analog technologies based in the US, in 1969. A traditional budgeting process is a yearly process and uses the budget of the previous year as a starting point to devise the current years budget. However, this process results in discrepancies.

    Zero-Based Budgeting
    For example, if there are inaccuracies in the previous years budget, they are carried forward to the next year, or, if the activities do not show a major impact on the budget, they are continued even if they are not contributing to the performance of the organization. On the other hand, in ZBB the base is taken as zero and the budget is devised as for a new venture.
