Without reliable data, budgeting processes can be imprecise and prone to errors, leading to financial inefficiencies and potential oversights. Accurate data ensures proper resource allocation, supports the setting of realistic financial goals, and facilitates strategic planning. It also improves transparency and accountability, making it easier to justify budget requests and demonstrate the value of facility management initiatives.
