Create a 2-part budgeting proposal (presentation and executive summary) in which you propose a budget for the initiative, align it to outcomes, and provide a strategy for budgeting accountability.

Develop your proposal as though you are a criminal justice professional responsible for putting together a budget presentation for a supervisor.

Part 1: Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation that includes the following headings and topics:

Initiative Objectives 

• Summarize the initiative you would like to implement.
• Identify the criminal justice domain (law enforcement, courts, corrections) and level of government (federal, state, local) for which the initiative is suitable. 
• Justify the initiative by explaining why the initiative is necessary or useful to the organization. Incorporate relevant details related to the organization’s mission statement.

Budgetary Costs

• Estimate the total cost of the initiative. 
• Explain the direct and indirect costs associated with the budget. 
• Include direct and/or indirect expenditures and their associated costs (e.g., salaries/wages, facilities, equipment, material/supplies, travel, consultants).
• Include capital expenditures.

Budgetary Sources

• Explain the budget source(s) you will use for the initiative. Include details related to public sector funding and other relevant sources of funds.

Budgetary Approach

• Analyze how a performance-based budget approach will support the budget proposal. Note: Review Table 6-1 in Ch. 6, “Budget System Reforms: Trying to Make Better Choices,” of Fiscal Administration.
• Identify 2–3 desired performance outcomes of the initiative.
• Explain the budgetary costs required to track and meet the desired performance outcomes.

Accounting 

• Explain how you will ensure consistent accountability and transparency in the budget process.
• Explain how the budget will be audited or reviewed and the review process. 
• Explain how you will measure outcomes or progress of the initiative through the budget.
• Explain strategies you will use to reduce or prevent errors.

Part 2: Write a 260- to 350-word executive summary in which you:

• Summarize your initiative and budget proposal.
• Provide 1–2 action steps your supervisor should take to approve the budget for the initiative. 

Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in addition to the textbook.

Submit your presentation and executive summary.
