Public organisation analysis

Unit 3 Individual Project

Concern
among the public sector is the demand for public organizations to be
transparent about their budgets and spending habits. You have been
scheduled to conduct a presentation for the State Budgeting Committee
about the type of budget that the organization operates under. Identify
the type of public organization for which you work, as well as what
types of services, goods, or activities the organization provides to the
public. Identify the size and scope of the organization.

Construct
a budget using Excel that will provide a breakdown of the various
budget items. Copy and paste the Excel spreadsheet of your budget into a
Word document. Finally, explain how the budget is made available to the
public for review. For example, is the budget made available at public
meetings, on a special request, published in a newsletter, on the
organization’s premises during regular business hours, via the
organization’s Web site, or by some other means? If the budget is not
available for the public to review, explain why. Furthermore, are there
any provisions in place regarding the budget being made available for
public view? Explain in detail.
