What is Results-Based Budgeting? Formal Definition: • Emphasizing measurable results as an integral part of budgeting to encourage the efficient and effective management of state resources. Informal Definition: • A budget process that ensures agencies state what they are trying to accomplish, explain how it will be accomplished, identify the cost of services, and document how well services are performed. • The process also ensures that agencies are adequately preparing for the future, decision makers are provided with detailed information in order to assess the effectiveness of state programs, and citizens are informed about state government work and subsequent results.
