Activity-Based Budgeting

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Activity-Based Budgeting

Activity-Based Budgeting (ABB) is a budgeting methodology that allocates resources based on the activities that drive costs and revenues within an organization. By focusing on the relationship between activities and resource consumption, an activity-based budget aims to enhance cost efficiency and strategic alignment. This approach contrasts with traditional budgeting methods by emphasizing the cost drivers and value-adding processes.
