Let
us discuss some of the
budgets covered in the above
classification.
Rolling
budget
Some
organizations follow the practice of
preparing a willing or progressive budget in
such
organizations;
budget for a year in advance
will always be there. Immediately
after a month, or a
quarter,
passes, as-the case may
be, a new budget is prepared
for a twelve months. The
figures for
the
month/quarter, which has
rolled down, are dropped and
the figures for the next
month /
quarter
are added. For example, if a
budget has been prepared for
the year 19X7, after the
expiry
of
the first quarter ending
31st March 19X7, a new budget
forth full year ending 31ft
March, 19X8
will
be prepared by dropping the figures
for the quarter which
has past (i.e. quarter
ending 31st
March
19X7) and adding-the figures for the
new quarter-ending 31st
March 19X8. The figures
for
the
remaining three quarters ending 31st
December 19X7 may also be
revised, if necessary.
This
process
will continue whenever a
quarter ends and a new
quarter begins.
