Looking for a breakdown of the federal budget timeline? This graphic provides at-a-glance insights into what to expect throughout the year.
While this infographic lays out the official timeline, although the process rarely stays on schedule. Delays are caused by numerous factors, including polarized politics, the economic climate, world events, and changes in presidential or Congressional power. The federal budget process is meant to wrap up in time for the new fiscal year on October 1 — but it frequently misses that deadline. Fortunately, the right technology and content can help your team navigate every twist, turn, and late-night involved in the budgeting process.
