Budget

This Wisconsin Department of Administration accounting manual section outlines the framework for state budget appropriations, which operate on a two-year cycle with fiscal years running July 1 to June 30. It establishes that appropriations are legislative authorizations for specific expenditures from designated funds, identified through alpha/numeric codes, and that all state agencies must reference an appropriation for every financial transaction while using commitment control features to enforce budgetary limits. The manual specifies procedures for agencies to validate budget amounts through PeopleSoft's budget overview and details pages, which track budget balances by calculating expenses and encumbrances against authorized amounts.

Wisconsin state budget law requires the City of Madison to prepare an annual budget with a public hearing, including anticipated revenues, proposed appropriations by department, comparisons to prior year actuals, and information on indebtedness and surplus.
