have a minimum of 5 scholarly sources in current APA format that are no older

Who prepares revenue
forecasts and when?

Do they have budget
policies?

How often are they
reviewed?

Where is the budget
office/function located?
·
What are the qualifications
of the staff?

organization manage conflict?

legislative body/governing board?

Part II. Overall recommendations
Identify the top 3–5 things this organization can/should do to
improve its budget process and documentation. Be realistic when offering
recommendations. Are there sufficient resources (time, money, knowledge and
skills) to support your recommendations?
Most of the information will come from reviewing the budget
documentation that you collect, interviews with key participants, and website analyses.
For larger organizations, you may want to focus on 1–2 departments.
