About This Training:
In 1982, GAO released the first edition of Principles of Federal Appropriations Law – a collection of the body of law governing the expenditure of federal funds commonly known as the Red Book.

Today, agency program managers, general counsel, contracts administrators and financial officers are all faced with significant challenges in meeting organization needs within current budgets. What are the rules? How are they applied in practice? What are the typical mistakes made that result in wasted or lost funds? How can an agency protect its budget? How can an agency manager maximize their allocation?

The rules governing federal appropriations are complex, extensive and fill four binders. This course, taught by leading experts in government contract law, will provide the student with an overview of the rules, how they are applied, and most importantly, how to maximize funds with budget limits AND within the rules.

Learn precisely how the Federal government’s budget and spending system works – and how to avoid impasses at each phase in the process, from initial planning through ultimate disbursement.
