Budgets

The Budget Department is principally responsible for assisting the Chief Financial Officer in the redaction of the annual ‘all funds’ budgets (presently in excess of $1 billion). Major initiatives within this department presently are the conversion of the financial statements from a cash basis to an accrual basis, particularly as it relates to reporting to the Board of Education.

Additionally, this department is principally responsible for the conversion to the mandated State Chart of Accounts; a project which is presently underway and scheduled for completion sometime in 2015.

The Budget Department is also critical relative to periodic reporting functions, informal training sessions, budget monitoring throughout the year, and completion of our Annual External Audit by the State Department of Audits and Accounts (DOAA).
