The Budget Office leads strategic budget planning and performance management to ensure transparent, efficient, and results-based allocation of resources aligned with institutional goals and national policies. It conducts budget hearings, consultations, monitoring, and reporting, while coordinating with oversight agencies such as DBM and COA.
The office implements participatory budgeting through bottom-up planning, ensuring that programs and projects are aligned, prioritized, and ready for implementation. It also provides key services, including preparation of budget utilization and obligation requests, monitoring allotment balances, development of annual and supplemental budgets, and processing of budget realignments or augmentations.
Through these functions, the Budget Office supports sound financial management, accountability, and the effective use of institutional resources.
