Budgeting

Washington Research & Consulting Services budgeting services span all four phases of the Federal budgeting process:

            1. Formulation and Transmittal
            2. Congressional Action
            3. Execution and Control
            4. Review and Audit

  • Accurately forecast and project program budget/spending requirements.
