The primary objective of this course is to provide you with a familiarity of the state budgetary process and increase your comfort level with complex fiscal concepts. These objectives will be achieved through: participant interaction and case studies; instructor-led discussions; and an impressive line-up of guest speakers who provide an overview of the state budgeting system.
    Emphasis is on the elements of the state’s budget cycle, roles and responsibilities in state budget development and execution, the importance of budgeting philosophies, the impacts on agency leaders and managers’ end products, the limitations of state law, the costing and pricing of government products and services and effectively communicating with elected officials and the public.
