__________ has been said to lead to bloated budgets and fails to scrutinize costs in depth
a. Balanced scorecard
b. Incremental budgeting
c. Zero-based budgeting
d. Timeline budgeting
b
a. Incorrect: Balanced scorecard is not a form of budgeting, but refers to collecting and reporting on data from several perspectives.
b. Correct: In incremental budgeting, most of the change in an operating budget from one year to the next is based on how much the budget should increase based on the assumption that the only change required is a cost-of-living increase. There are concerns that this type of budgeting leads to bloated budgets, because the focus of discussions is about relatively minor adjustments and there may be a failure to scrutinize costs in depth.
c. Incorrect: Zero-based budgeting is a methodology that requires beginning from zero for each cost and building the budget from the ground up.
d. Incorrect: Timeline budgeting is not an approach used by health care organizations.
