Once carried out by a financial director and a few accountants, budget planning is becoming more of a company-wide effort thanks to the latest software, with a greater number of managers and employees contributing to the process. Many companies are using technology to combine the traditional bottom-up approach to budget preparation, in which department heads submit budget requests that are rolled up into a corporate budget, with a top-down approach in which budgets are prepared in line with strategic objectives outlined by top management. And while annual budgets were once as unchanging as a statue, more companies now view budgets as living documents that are revised on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
