FY27 Budget Planning Timeline
Below is the plan and timeline for the Communications FY27 budget cycle.
December 2025
We will pause the period 5 reporting updates and cancel the December check-in meetings to focus on building out the FY27 budget workbooks. If you still need to meet this month, please contact Chris Mortensen directly. Chris will send notifications when workbooks are ready. All unit workbooks are linked below.
January 2026
In early January, Chris will prepare Q2 financial updates for the scheduled meetings later in the month. During the January check-ins, we will walk through the FY27 budget planning timeline/workbook, address questions, and discuss early considerations. If time permits, he will provide the Q2 updates and go over details as needed.
February 2026
Chris will update reporting to include period 7 actuals. FY27 Draft Budgets should be FINALIZED by the February monthly check-in meetings. By this point, units should have reviewed and finalized with their supervisors. The monthly check-in meeting will be to discuss final outstanding budget items. On February 27th, the Budget and Resources Planning Office will kick off the Budget Entry process.
March 2026
We will meet with the AVP and VP of Communications the week of March 16th to present and review the FY27 requested budgets. This is where any final adjustments will be discussed and updated. Once budgets are finalized, Chris will work through the central budget entry process, and finalize the FY27 budget by March 31st.
April 2026
Final budget entry submissions are due to the BRP office by April 6th.
