"Slack Budget" means providing a cushion in a budget in order to avoid an unfavorable variance at the end of the budget year.

The intentional allowance for extra expenditures in a future cash flow.
Budgetary slack can take one of two forms: It can either underestimate the amount of income or revenue that will come in over a given amount of time, or overestimate the expenses that are to be paid out over the same time period.
Budgetary slack is when the people involved in creating a budget deliberately under-estimate the amount of revenue to be generated, or over-estimate the amount of expenses expected to be incurred during the budget period.
This allows them a much better chance of "making their numbers," which is particularly important for them if performance appraisals and bonuses are tied to the achievement of budgeted numbers.
Budgetary slack is most common when a company uses participative budgeting, since this form of budgeting involves the participation of a large number of employees, which gives more people a chance to introduce budgetary slack into the budget.

Budgetary slack is generally frowned upon by most accountants.
This strategy effectively prevents budgets from working properly.
It can even be unethical in some cases, such as when companies intentionally distort these figures in order to achieve certain accounting objectives
