Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incremental budgeting is a method of budgeting that focuses on incremental increases or decreases in funding for existing programs, usually accepting their previous year's expenditures as legitimate. This approach assumes that an organization's activities and programs will continue at more or less the same level as the previous year, with only minor adjustments or modifications for the new budget cycle. This method is often criticized for being too conservative and for not encouraging organizations to think creatively about their programs and services.
