Section Description

This course provides an introduction to public and nonprofit budgeting and finance. The budgetary process is, perhaps, the most important and fundamental component of the public policy process and democratic governance. Funding for public programs is inseparable from their operation (and existence). Furthermore, the sources of revenue for public programs can play an important role in the design of government spending. Since the budgetary process is inherently political, we can understand budgets as both political documents and management tools. Simply put, budgets are an expression of societal values. It is necessary, therefore, for public servants to possess the knowledge and skills required to understand the key principles of public and nonprofit budgeting and finance.
