Hello instructor and class,

Uncontrollable expenditures can have potential negative implications on a budget and its process. Uncontrollable factors can greatly increase the spending allocations. Uncontrollable expenditures can put a lot of pressure on the budget and its sustainability. The most important uncontrollable expenditure to keep is some sort of reserve or emergency fund. It is justified because it can be maintained to provide a safety net of sorts or something to fall back on in case of a dependent situation that requires it.
