Best Practices in Budget Development and Analysis
Benefits
In difficult fiscal times many budget officers and municipal managers begin the process by a rather simple approach: 'Revenues are down 10%, we need to cut the budget by 10%'. Then they wait for the battles to begin, internally with department heads, externally with council members and other public stakeholders. This live audio conference will provide budget preparers with a comprehensive framework for preparing the budget to meet the realities of revenue constraints, set priorities, build consensus, and avoid unproductive budget negotiations. You will learn how to invest your time upfront to gather the data and other information, as well as use effective tools to analyze, prepare and propose an effective budget that meets the fiscal and policy objectives of your governmental unit.
