The 2026 State of Public Budgeting: How Finance Leaders Are Preparing for Fiscal Uncertainty

Fiscal uncertainty is forcing government leaders to rethink how budgets are built, managed and defended.

The 2026 State of Public Budgeting report, based on survey data from finance and budget leaders across North America, reveals a clear pattern in government budgeting: Expectations are rising, workloads are expanding, and most teams are still running on the same spreadsheets and manual processes they have used for years.

This insightful webinar will walk through the report’s key findings, explore what they mean for government teams today, and share five steps you can take now to close the gap between where your organization needs to go and the infrastructure you have to get there.

You will learn:

• Why fiscal uncertainty is reshaping government budgeting
• Where manual tools and disconnected processes are creating the most friction and the most risk
• What the compliance landscape looks like for government teams in 2026
• How organizations are approaching scenario planning and forecasting in an unpredictable environment
• Where AI adoption stands and what forward-looking organizations are doing differently
