    ACCA · Question 20 · Budgeting and control

    Section B - Case 1: GreenHarvest

    GreenHarvest operates a large-scale organic farm producing two main crops: Quinoa and Kale. The farm is transitioning from traditional absorption costing to Activity-Based Costing (ABC).

    As a compromise to Beyond Budgeting, the Finance Director suggests implementing a 'Rolling Budget'.

    Which of the following best describes a rolling budget?

    Answer options:

    A.

    A budget that automatically increases by a set percentage every year.

    B.

    A budget that is continuously updated by adding a new accounting period when the earliest period expires.

    C.

    A budget that flexes based on the actual volume of crops produced.

    D.

    A budget where every expense must be justified from scratch each quarter.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the definition of a rolling budget from the options provided.

    Full Answer

    B.A budget that is continuously updated by adding a new accounting period when the earliest period expires.✓ Correct
    A rolling budget (or continuous budget) is kept continuously up to date by adding another accounting period (e.g., a month or quarter) when the earliest accounting period has expired. This ensures the budget always extends a fixed distance into the future (e.g., always looking 12 months ahead).

    Common mistakes

    Confusing rolling budgets with flexible budgets (which adjust for volume).
