Process
The Budget Monitoring Reports play an important role in insuring that units operate within the limits of their budgets and take appropriate action when budget deficits appear imminent. They show a fund's overall performance and allow management to get involved in resolving outstanding issues.
The Office of Budget and Financial Planning centrally coordinates, reviews and supports the Budget Monitoring Process. We work directly with the department head or responsible budget manager to correct the deficit situations.

Deficit Explanations
Each department is required to submit to the Budget Office an explanation and action plan for all funds in deficit. Reports on funds over the monthly threshold function only as a tool to raise awareness on the current status of the funds.
