Static budgeting is a financial planning method where a budget is created for a specific period and remains unchanged regardless of actual performance or changes in circumstances. This approach allows organizations to set clear financial goals and allocate resources effectively, but it may not adapt well to unexpected events or fluctuations in revenue and expenses. In a static budget, all estimates are made at the beginning of the period, making it easier to track performance against the original plan. However, this rigidity can lead to challenges, as it does not account for variations in sales, production levels, or market conditions that may arise during the budget period.
