For this assignment you will analyze:
The Impact of the following three types of budgets: Impact of Line-Item Budgeting on the budgetary process. How does it work anwhat is its impact (advantages/disadvantagesImpact of Program Budgeting on the budgetary process. How does it work and
what is its impact (advantages/disadvantages)? Impact of Performance Budgeting on the budgetary process. How does it work
and what is its impact (advantages/disadvantages)? The impact of two political, economic, and social constraints on the budgetary process
To successfully complete this assignment, please refer to the Research Paper: Types of
Budgets Assignment Guide. Using the outline is designed to clarify the assignment by breaking
it into component parts so it can be dealt with systematically. It will assure that the specifications
of the assignment are met and will improve the quality of your report. A doctoral level course
requires description and analysis. While descriptions certainly are the precursor to analyses, they
are not the analyses.
The text of this research paper must be 8-10-pages (not including title page, reference page, and
any appendices). This paper must be in current APA format with 1-inch margins and 12-pt Times
New Roman font. You must also include a title page and reference page. You must include
citations to a sufficient number of appropriate professional, scholarly, or other appropriate
sources to fully support your assertions and conclusions (which will likely require more than the
minimum number of citations); each paper must include a minimum of 5 sources, not including the bible
RESEARCH PAPER: TYPES OF BUDGETS ASSIGNMENT GUIDE
Outline
Keep in mind that
the budget is noun; it is a financial plan. Budgeting is a verb; it is a
process.
Your analysis should
address the impact (effect) on the process, not the impact on the plan
(budget).
Use the bolded
statements as headings in your paper.
I. Executive Summary
(Limit to a page or less). It is not an introduction; it is a summary
of the findings.
Write this section last.
An Executive Summary
should:
· Summarize the impact of Line-Item
Budgets, Program Budgets, and Performance
Budgets on the
budgetary process.
· Summarize the impact of the two
selected constraints on the budgetary process.
II. Impacts of the
Three Types of Budgets on the Budgetary Process
· Impact of Line-Item Budgets on the
Budgetary Process. Describe the
impact(advantages/disadvantages)
line-item budgeting has on the budgeting process.
· Impact of Program Budgets on the
Budgetary Process. Describe the impact
(advantages/disadvantages)
program budgeting has on the budgeting process.
· Impact of Performance Budgets on the
Budgetary Process. Describe the impact
(advantages/disadvantages)
performance budgeting has on the budgeting process.
III. Impact of Two
Political and/or Economic Constraints on the Budgetary Process
Address in depth two
of the following three constraints listed below.
· Fiscal constraints.
· Economic constraints.
· Political constraints.
Be specific. You
must specify exactly which constraining factor you are analyzing.
Fiscal constraints
include factors such as monetary policy, supply-side policy, and money supply. If analyzing
fiscal constraints, select one and analyze its impact on the budgetary process.
Economic constraints
include wages, interest rates, inefficiencies within the micro-economy, A rapidly
growing or declining population, lack of financial capital, lack of human
capital, and trade
barriers. If analyzing economic constraints, select one and analyze its impact
on the budgetary
process.
Political
constraints include tax policy, labor law, environmental law, trade
restrictions, tariffs, technology,
and disruptive innovations. If analyzing political constraints, select one and analyze its impact on the
budgetary process.
Use a
heading for each of the two specific constraints you selected. For example: Impact of Monetary Policy
on the Budgetary Process.
Constraint
impacts the budgetary process based on its intent, goals, objectives, etc. They cannot be treated as a
single entity for analytical purposes.
Using
the outline is designed to clarify the assignment by breaking it into parts so
it can be dealt
with systematically. It will ensure that the assignment specifications are met
and will improve
the quality of your report.
