Transforming the Philadelphia Government’s Conventional Budget Allocation Process to a Data- and Performance-Driven Budget Process
Abstract
The Philadelphia Office of Budget and Program Evaluation works under the Office of the Director of Finance, assisting it with developing operating and capital budgets for the city. In its executive function, the office works to monitor legislation developed governing appropriation bills and performs a supervisory role in the approval of city spending and project requests where relevant. On an annual basis, it manages the budget allocation process by taking the requests of city departments into consideration and tabulates a budget for the year ahead based on incremental modifications to prior year budgets.
