Paul welcomes special guest Larry Leffler of Leffler Consulting (https://www.lefflerconsulting.com) to discuss the federal budget process. Listen and learn:
When does the budgeting process start?
Who is involved in the budgeting process?
How does a program budget request feed the system to result in funds being appropriated and authorized?
How do agencies/offices/programs prioritize the budget that is allowed to them?
What happens if a program doesn’t start on time?
What happens if their is a program overrun? (or underrun?)
How does the way a budget request is structured and worded impact the program’s flexibility in spending these dollars?
