Euna Solutions announced the launch of Euna Budget: Strategic Budgeting, a first-of-its-kind offering that enables city leaders to connect their strategic plans with annual budgets. Euna Budget offers full-cycle strategic budgeting, connecting strategy to all aspects of the budget including operating, personnel, and capital budgets. Euna Solutions has worked closely with renowned industry association Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and other industry leaders to discuss new approaches for their campaign, Rethinking Budgeting.

Through a series of roundtables, discussions, and assessments, several opportunities were identified to modernize budgeting, notably the disconnect between strategic plans and the budget process. Euna Budget: Strategic Budgeting was designed to address that disconnect, especially for city and financial leaders, charged with budgeting against the community?s strategic plan. Governments can take advantage of Strategic Budgeting by Euna Budget in the following ways: Strategic Budget Formation, Management and Approval: Agency leaders can easily align departmental budgets and initiatives with overarching goals, ensuring all internal stakeholders work toward common objectives.

Monitoring resources and how they influence the overarching goal, governments are empowered to make decisions based on comprehensive, high-quality data, enhancing the effectiveness of resource allocation and outcomes. This approach ensures fund allocations directly support the desired goals from the strategic plan, creating a clear link between spending and outcomes. Strategic Performance and Accountability: Agencies, departments and employees can easily track budget allocations and expenditures, providing clear visibility into how funds are used and ensuring they align with strategic goals.

They gain access to a robust set of reporting features to monitor how spending can achieve desired outcomes and contribute to the overarching strategic goal, fostering accountability to stakeholders. Strategic Budgeting and Transparency: A strategic plan is typically published as a lengthy PDF file with a mix of text and charts, similar to other financialdocuments such as the Budget Book. Euna Budget: Strategic Budgeting integrates with Euna?s existing transparency solution to create and publish the critical public-facing strategic plan.

This easy-to-use publishing tool enables city leaders to publish their strategic plans using pre-built templates based on examples from various cities and best practices.
