Why do companies require annual budget be spent 100%?

585 views

In many companies, there’s this policy which requires awarded budget that must be spent completely once it’s approved. If the annual spend is below the allocated annual amount, there’s a chance next FY you won’t get the requested budget you asked for.

– why do such policy exist?

Isn’t it better to carry over unused expenses to the next FY? Saving expenses expenditure is a bad thing? Such a policy encourages employees to spend extravagantly the remainder amount nearer to FY-end.

I work in a certain sector with both medical and marketing budgets. The curtain was parted a few years back that if they didn’t spend the budget, they lost it that year and it was dropped by 20% the following year also. Some crazy shit happens come year end.
