Constituents of the University of Zagreb are primarily financed from thegovernment budget.

Authors will try to connect budget classification with the implementation of full costing method in separate model of cost accounting that could be developed for purposes of tracking and allocating costs taking into consideration activity based costing system. Regulations on the budget classifications adopted by the Minister of Finance differ following classifications: organizational classification, economic classification, functional classification, program classification and sources of funding.
