FedTrain, Inc. is a Georgia based corporation providing training programs and instruction to federal agencies in such subjects as federal budgeting and legal issues relating to the expenditure of federal appropriations.
Our clients are the federal agencies and their employees who, on a day-to-day basis, are making difficult decisions regarding federal budgetary issues and expenditure of federal funds. They are confronted by an awesome and daunting array of federal laws, rules, regulations, policies, instructions and Comptroller General Decisions that, at times, frustrate even the most learned and experienced of the workforce.
For, as most of them soon discover, guidance on matters of appropriations law are not found neatly bound in a single book. Rather the law regarding federal expenditures rests in innumerable federal publications issued since 1789 and changed every year since. One need only consult Volume V, Principles of Appropriations Law, authored by the staff of the Comptroller General of the United States. There, you will find several hundred pages of references to appropriations laws that appear in the preceding four volumes. And, these references relate to the most general of all rules. Beyond those, an accountable officer will have to scour the many rules and regulations pertaining to a specific agency or appropriation within the agency. In many ways, federal appropriations law is the most difficult of all to understand, research and use.
It is our objective in offering this site to our clients to provide a source for budgetary and appropriations law information. If we can help them navigate through the maze, then we will have been successful.
