What is a budget cycle? What is its importance in budgeting?

What will be an ideal response?


The budget cycle consists of four sequential steps, repeated every year at about the same point in time: (1) budget formulation, (2) budget approval, (3) budget execution, and (4) budget audit. The budget cycle governs the overall budget of a police department. In government (and, therefore, all public criminal justice agencies) the budget cycle is typically set on a fiscal-year basis.
