Federal Office of Management and Budget

The Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is a U.S. government agency responsible for overseeing the preparation of the federal budget and managing its implementation. It helps ensure government agencies operate efficiently, comply with laws, and use taxpayer funds responsibly. The OMB reviews and approves funding requests, sets financial and managerial policies, and monitors agency performance. Essentially, it acts as the executive branch’s financial steward, promoting effective management of government resources to meet national priorities and ensure transparency and accountability.
