Budget Amendment

The University of Georgia budget expresses in terms of dollars the funded programs and plans of the University for the budget year and the estimated income by sources necessary to finance these programs and plans. The budget is the primary instrument of fiscal control and must contain all income and expenditures of the University. The original budget consists of estimates made prior to the actual period to which they will apply. As conditions change, periodic revisions to these budget estimates are required. Any change in the budget of the University must be made by amendment. No expenditure may be made on the basis of an amendment request until the amendment receives approval. The Budget Office submits quarterly reports to the Board of Regents summarizing budget amendments processed during each quarter.

Budget amendments and employee personnel reports are prepared by University departments and submitted to the Budget Office after approval by the appropriate Vice President.
