Definitions for: Zero-Base Budgeting (ZBB)
Zero-Base Budgeting (ZBB)

method of setting budgets for corporations and government agencies that requires a justification of all expenditures, not only those that exceed the prior year's allocations. Thus all budget lines are said to begin at a zero base and are funded according to merit rather than according to the level approved for the preceding year, when circumstances probably differed.
