Budget Submission Development and Preparation Guide
The process for preparing the FY 2013 Operating Budget is beginning.
Introduction
There are five major parts associated with the development and preparation
of your budget submission:
- The Program Mission Summary is the narrative portion of your budget. It describes the unit’s mission, functions, trends, mandates, etc.
- The Base or Same Services Level Budget is the part of the budget that provides for the next fiscal year, the amount that is necessary to continue current functions, activities, and services.
- Organization Charts that display the major functional and reporting relationships that exist among and between units in an office, and personnel complements.
- The Program Efficiency, Abandonment, and Redirection (PEAR) process provides information on how to reduce the budget or realign resources from lower to higher priority programs. Based on the fiscal outlook, this process will be instituted again for the FY 2013 budget. Targets for each office will be distributed as soon as they are determined.
- The Program Budget Narratives that describe programs that have been published in the Program Budget. Managers will need to review and edit the descriptions to show the alignment of the program(s) with the strategic plan.
Detailed information and directions for preparing each part of the budget submission are provided
in the Full Budget Submission Guide (PDF).
