Procedures outline the exact actions to be taken in specific situations, often referred to as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Budgets are single-use plans that allocate resources to specific activities, projects, or programs
Rolled-over budgets carry forward the previous year's budget with incremental adjustments, potentially leading to overspending, underspending, or wasted resources
