\r\n \r\n There are a number of companies and government agencies that work under these types of rules. They set up a budget for the year and allocate a given amount of funds for each department. The spending of those departments cannot exceed that amount. However if they do not spend it, as stated they can lose it. Worse if they don�t spend it all next years budget could be reduced. Naturally there is no incentive to try and save money.
\n
\n And yes this is a dumb system.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Apparently this is a �book keeping procedure�. It allows a company to close out their accounting books at the end of the year and start fresh the next year.
\n
\n But you are right it makes no sense and from a practical stand point, and it can even be counterproductive. But then accountants live in their own unique little world which is sometime devoid of common sense.\r\n
