OMB Circulars

OMB Circulars are guidelines issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to federal agencies in the United States. They establish policies and procedures for budget management, financial reporting, and program evaluation. These circulars help ensure transparency, accountability, and efficient use of taxpayer dollars. They cover various topics, including grant administration, cost principles, and performance management, providing a framework for agencies to follow in order to achieve their goals effectively and comply with federal requirements. Essentially, they serve as important rulebooks for how federal agencies operate financially and administratively.
