Discussion: Theories and Concepts to Help Understand Budgeting and Finance

The three traditional sectors of the United States economy—government, non-profit organizations (NPOs), and for-profit organizations—are similar in terms of financial and fiscal responsibilities. While financial functions (e.g., strategic financial planning, accounting, etc.) largely are the same in these organizations, the public sector has unique characteristics that impact finance and budget administration. For example, public organizations are accountable to citizens and, sometimes, to higher levels of government. Therefore, the budget process includes and involves these two sets of stakeholders.
