Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB)

Zero-based budgeting is a method where every expense must be justified for each new period, starting from a zero base. Unlike traditional budgeting, it doesn’t carry forward previous budgets. ZBB helps eliminate unnecessary spending, but requires more time, detailed planning, and justification of all costs.
