Budget Formulation and Execution

NetStar-1’s support to our clients spans the entire budget process from the development of the budget strategy and request, including developing documentation to defend the budget request, through execution of the approved operating plan, including measuring performance and reporting. Our approach is based on OMB guidance, memorandums, and circulars as well as the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution process. 

Federal programs are under heightened scrutiny to ensure that they meet the President’s initiative to increase the transparency and accountability of the Federal government, spurring the enhancement of all levels of performance. NetStar-1 helps clients meet this initiative by implementing a proven, process-driven approach. This approach provides our clients with a budgeting framework that links program objectives to agency missions, estimates and captures costs in accordance with the program’s work breakdown structure, incorporates the use of earned value management, and provides a decision support system for agency management and executives.
