Budget Survey
Financial Services continually seeks to enhance the usefulness of FCPS budget documents.  As part of our effort to strive for continuous improvements in the documents and services we provide, Financial Services has developed a customer satisfaction survey to gather information on how well the budget documents serve as decision-making and communications tools.  We have also included this as an indicator for our department’s operational expectations.

The survey is included in each budget book and is available on the budget documents page of our website.  We appreciate your feedback and assistance in enhancing the effectiveness of future budget documents.
