Authoritative (Top-Down) Budgeting, also known as top-down budgeting, is a financial planning approach where senior management establishes the budget with minimal input from lower-level staff. This method emphasizes strategic alignment and control, as executives set overarching financial goals and allocate resources accordingly. It contrasts with bottom-up budgeting, which involves detailed input from various departments.
