DoD Fiscal Law Principles

Description:

This two-day course is designed to provide you with DoD-specific authorities or prohibitions relating to fiscal law (also called “federal appropriations law”). DoD, like all federal agencies, is bound by the basic fiscal law rules. However, DoD has considerably more flexibility in many areas because Congress has given specific statutory authority to DoD. Additionally, DoD has several activities that make it different from other agencies (e.g., Military Construction). Basic federal appropriations law courses may not address these DoD-specific topics. This course covers the major fiscal law exceptions and authorities that apply to DoD. This course also serves another purpose. It will fulfill the requirement for DoD Financial Management personnel to receive recurring fiscal law training. It covers changes that have been made to the Principles of Federal Appropriations Law (the “Redbook”) since you last studied the material in the 4-day Federal Appropriations Law course. Thus, you will not only learn about DoD specifics but also be brought up to date on generic fiscal law developments
