What is
a
Revenue Budget Model for State and Local Government
? Revenue input forms are considered a key part of annual budget models and are used by budget managers and department heads to capture expected incoming revenue streams for the next fiscal year. Key functionality in this type of budget template displays multiple years of history, as well as, prior year's adopted revenue budget. Department managers can adjust the provided baseline budget up or down by a percent or an amount. They can also document any important information using the comment fields on each row. You will find an example of this type of budget template below.
Purpose of
Revenue Budget Models State and local governments use Revenue Budget Models to enable users to provide the best possible revenue estimates based on information displayed in the form and minimize questions by providing text comments. When used as part of good business practices in a Budgeting and Planning department, a government can improve its budget accuracy, as well as, reduce the chances that major surprises occur due to missed budget targets.
