The Office of Management and Budget

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is a U.S. government agency responsible for helping the President manage the federal government's budget, policies, and programs. It reviews and approves government spending plans, ensures that agencies follow the President’s policies, and provides overall financial and administrative oversight. Essentially, the OMB works to make sure that government resources are used efficiently, effectively, and in line with national priorities. It acts as a central coordinating body that supports the President’s agenda and helps keep government operations transparent and accountable.
