But if COVID has taught us anything, it’s that we’re all being forced to reduce spending, and that some of the things we thought were essentials pre-pandemic, we’re not missing as much these days. Adanma C. Akujieze CPA, CISA, CIA came on the CFO Weekly podcast to share her tactical thoughts in this"zero based budget" video episode, or ZBB. What is ZBB?
