Drop the month just ended and add a future month. Keeps management planning a full year ahead. 1.

12 Participative Budgeting
Advantages: More accurate budget estimates because lower level managers have more detailed knowledge of their area. Tendency to perceive process as fair due to involvement of lower level management. Overall goal - produce a budget considered fair and achievable by managers while still meeting corporate goals. Risk of unreliable budgets greater when they are “top-down.” 1.

Just as important as for profit-oriented company. However, budget process differs significantly from that of a profit-oriented company. Budget on the basis of cash flows (expenditures and receipts), not on a revenue and expense basis. The starting point is usually expenditures, not receipts. Management’s task is to find receipts needed to support planned expenditures. Budget must be strictly followed, overspending often illegal. 1.
