Overview
As a consultant, you need to develop an in-depth
analysis and evaluation of the Florida Department of Children and Family’s
Agency’s budgeting parameters and then provide recommendations for improvement
based on your research of related academic sources and websites. The analysis
will be read by the VP of Public Service and client support, as well as by the
leaders of the agency for whom you are working. Write a 4–6 page paper
(including title and reference page) titled Part 4: Evaluation of the [Selected
Agency]’s Budgeting and Cumulative Report, in which you separate the content
into the following sections:
- Analysis
of Budgeting Plans and Actual Expenditures. - Implications
of Foreign or Domestic Policy. - Budget
Request and Recommendations.
Instructions
- Determine
which intergovernmental agencies contribute to or influence the budgetary
decisions for the current and future budget over the next five years. - Based on your agency selection,
analyze the impact of either international or domestic policy making on
the current year’s budgets and its possible impact on future budget line
items. - Consider our current practice of
assembling and approving our national budget. - How does politics impact
discussion and decision-making? - How does our Debt ceiling
impact budget formulation and impact the agency you selected? - Examples of domestic policy
impact could include neighboring localities or states assisting other
agencies. - Recommend two strategies the
agency could use to improve the budget for the next fiscal year.
Recommendations should be detailed and focused. - Use at least two quality sources
to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and
appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time
within your assignment. Include no more than one nongovernment website.
