Our budget analysts establish and maintain the reports you need to monitor available budget authority and maintain efficient and effective administration. For optimal control, we can also establish budget plans at any accounting code levels.

We use budget execution system controls to prevent spending beyond the budget plan or to allow spending over a budget plan amount when necessary (e.g. appropriation/fund, apportionment, internal org, cost pool, cam1, cam2, cam3, program, cohort, and budget object code). Budget execution system control settings are established by your agency and are available at different accounting code levels.
