Actual Expenditures vs. Budget

Measuring the difference between actual General Fund expenditures versus the adopted budget helps us understand how well the City is managing spending. The goal is to spend in line with, and not in excess of, budgeted amounts. This variance from budgeted amounts is projected quarterly through budget status reports prepared by the Controller’s Office. Actual results are known and published at the end of the fiscal year in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
