    Hello Sir, I hope you’re safe and doing good!

    Could you please explain the following disadvantages of rolling budgets to me?

    Issues with version control, as
    each month the full year numbers
    will change

    Confusion in meetings as to each
    numbers the business is working
    towards; this can distract from
    the key issues. as managers
    discuss which numbers to
    achieve

    The first one is there is a danger of managers looking at the wrong budget when they should be looking at the latest one.

    The second is that because the numbers keep changing managers get confused and spend too much time comparing number than actually making decisions.
