State Budget Preparation
The Department of Finance is conducting departmental budget training regarding the 2023 24 Budget process. You can enroll for this training via this webpage (see registration link below).
Who May Attend
State of California departmental staff directly involved in the budget process, including the preparation and/or submission of budget documents. Each training session is limited, so four staff per department, per level of experience, may attend. Successful registration requires a valid state department email account. This course is not intended as a career development tool nor to fulfill a continuing education requirement. Enrollment may require departmental budget officer approval to attend.
Budget Process Training
Two types of technical training are being offered: 1) standard training (considered a refresher course), and 2) training for new analysts. All sessions will cover the following topics:
- Budgeting Resources
- General Treatment of Revenues and Expenditures
- Tips for Uploading Templates into Hyperion
- Fund Condition Statements/Past Year Reconciliation
- Salaries and Wages Publication
- Budget Galley Review and Validation
This is not training focusing on how to use FI$Cal’s Hyperion-based Budget System nor is it a hands-on training. For assistance using Hyperion, please contact your Finance Budget Analyst.
