How can Finance help departments when they are trying to correct budgetary problems, e.g., fixing OE&E problems, redistributing positions to programs and therefore funds?
Departmental staff should work with their Finance Budget Analyst. To realign OE&E, positions and funds, sometimes adjustments can be handled administratively; more significant changes may require a BCP. During the preparation of the 2001-02 Governor’s Budget, Finance conducted a vacant position analysis for departments with 300 or more positions. The results of this analysis resulted in budget adjustments to more accurately reflect how dollars and positions were being used and addressed historical deficiencies. For more information, refer to BL 00-15.
