Introduction

In modern world financial planning activities are commonly seen in families, organizations, institutions, and establishments. During planning, planners take into consideration funds available, and calculate the expenditures within the means and capacity of resources and revenue available.  Government agencies obtain funds from federal coffers and tax payer’s account.  Since the public pay taxes and such funds are used in maintaining government organizations, infrastructures, bridges, roads, streets, tunnels, parks, public buildings, and recreational amenities, the public are supposed to know what the funds are used for, and how it is used.  So, in most of the government agencies, every fiscal year, they release and publicize the fiscal finance and budgeting for the coming year to the press in order for the public to be aware of monetary analysis of the coming year.  Not only do they state the fiscal year data but also include an estimate for subsequent years.  An example of government agency that experiences finance and budgeting procedures is the New York Police Department.
