    Hi,

    Which of the following is an alternative budgeting system that Corfe Co could use to allow for uncertainty?

    1 Incremental budget
    2 Zero based budget
    3 Activity based budget
    4 Rolling budget

    I thought the answer should be no 1 incremental budgeting ,but according to the kit the answer is rolling budget.

    Can you explain?

    Thanks

    Rolling budgets and flexible budgets are a way of trying to reduce the element of uncertainty in the plan.
    Rolling budgets allow you to reflect the actual results for the period and then roll it forward seeing was has changed.

    Hi,

    Maybe my understanding from the question is not proper,

    I thought the question is asking which one will have more uncertainty if it is applied that’s why I have chosen incremental budgeting.

    Does that clarify something?

    Thanks,

    Could be used to allow for building in changes – uncertainty

    Why would you want incremental that is just last year plus a bit
    What uncertainty does that help to bring in

    When you could reflect what you have learnt from the actual and reflect it going forward
