Through this approach, managers adjust their budget for the next incremental period to achieve sales or departmental goals.
Continuous budgeting is favorable for a short period, let’s say 3 months’ budget for the sales team. Through continuous budgeting sales department can easily track down their progress and the budget may revise to achieve the likely goals of the company.
