Problems with the Budget Process
Problems with the Budget Process
- Continuing resolutions
- A continuing resolution is a budget agreement that allows agencies, in the absence of an approved budget, to spend at the rate of the previous year’s budget
- Continuing resolutions are implemented due to delays in the budget process or problems with content of the budget
- Overlapping committee authority
- Length of the budget process
- Uncontrollable budget items
- Overly detailed budget
