Revised Uniform Budget Manual released

A revised Uniform Budget Manual for Local Units of Government was released this week by the state Department of Treasury. This important manual is a key resource for township leaders and staff, as well as auditors and accountants, in applying legal requirements and establishing a sound budgeting process. Recommended practices to enhance the budgeting process are also included in the manual. The revised manual is effective for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2024, and after. Earlier this year, MTA submitted comments during a public comment period on the exposure draft of the manual. Following the public comment period, changes were made accordingly.
