So most companies have a big corporate office and a bunch of regional offices that they allocate money to, I get that. Let’s say a given office gets a $500,000/yr operating budget (just throwing out a random number). How do they spend exactly $500,000? Because they obviously don’t want to go over budget but they don’t want to have a surplus and lose $ next year. So is there wiggle room? Would they spend $499,995 or something?

Most smart organizations are beyond budgeting.
The budget process is expensive, time consuming, and the budget is often irrelevant by the time it is in play. It can cause sub-optimization.
Why continue funding failure, just because it is in the budget? Why ignore new opportunities just because there is no budget?
