For this assignment, you will develop an organizational budget plan utilizing your choice of budget reports. Although your Organizational Budget Plan will be professionally relevant, it will be structured according to established academic guidelines and will contain an introduction, literature review, budgetary line items, discussion, and conclusion. You will take on the role of the chief operating officer for either the San Diego, California Police Department the document or the California Department of Corrections. In this role, you have been called upon to cut your agency’s operating costs by 25%. Your tasks are to decide where costs should be cut, rationalize your decisions based on available literature, and draft an appropriate budget plan outlining your decisions. Your budget plan should allow the organization to function adequately and provide the necessary public service required of its mission statement. You will be using the budget report you chose for your Week Three Annotated Literature Review assignment. Based on your previous selection, you will create your budget plan. (The literature you researched in Week Three should be used to support this assignment as well.) When considering your chosen report, keep in mind that the total operating budget for your respective agency must be cut by the requisite 25%. The resulting amount will be the total available funding for your agency for the upcoming fiscal year. Do not create an entirely new budget. Your task is to take the funds available for your agency for the upcoming fiscal year and provide a rationale for the cuts you decide upon and how the money will be reallocated among the budgetary line items. The following headings and content must be included in the budget plan. Literature Review For this section of your plan, you must research and include a minimum of nine scholarly and/or professional resources (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. published within the last 10 years in addition to your course text.
