Topics will focus on important budgeting principles and the stages common in budget development processes, from the initial establishment of broad priorities, through the budget review process, budget implementation and to the final stages of results reporting. This workshop will also discuss the role of program managers in managing resources throughout the budget year and the processes in place to ensure budget decisions are met and financial plans are responsive to rapidly changing program demands.
