15 minute lesson

Read county planning and finance as a chain: CIDP → ADP → CFSP → Budget Estimates → Appropriation → Procurement/Implementation → Controller of Budget reporting → Audit.

A budget is authority to spend; it is not proof that cash is sitting in the bank or that the project has been implemented.
