The items in this sample budget are listed alphabetically. In practice, a service body usually lists budget items in order of priority. Fixed expenses are deducted first, and the remaining balance is divided among variable expenses as determined by member proposals and group conscience. Some service bodies have agreed on policies that prescribe how to prioritize variable expenses.
