Budgeting in the Legislative and Judicial Context

Budgeting is a forward-looking planning instrument, but it is also a political statement, a legal document, and a management tool. Elected officials appropriate funds to the policies and programs of their choosing, but the expenditures are bound by laws and administered by managers.  Students learn how all the budget process actors impact the reality of the final budget document to avoid making serious critical mistakes.
