Last updated Apr 6, 2026|Official source

Summary

Every wholly owned government corporation must make and send a business-style budget to the President each year, following the form and deadline the President sets. The budget must show finances for the last, current, and next fiscal years. It must include balance, income and cash-flow statements, a surplus or deficit analysis, and other details like costs by major activity, admin expenses, borrowings, any government capital to be returned to the Treasury that year, and any appropriations needed to fix capital losses. It must also plan for emergencies and be flexible enough for the corporation to run its activities. The President will include those corporation budgets, with any changes he makes, in the budget sent to Congress and may send changes at any time.
