Overview

The U.S. Government requires Federal agencies to establish an effective funds control system to prevent overspending and to ensure compliance with various laws that are enacted to control and guide the formulation and implementation of federal fiscal policy (see 634.4.1, External Mandatory References). These laws play an important role in the budget process and set forth the rules and restrictions governing Federal obligations and spending.
