This thesis explores multi-year revenue and expenditure
forecasting as a financial management tool available to
small municipal governments. A generalized approach for
developing a multi-year forecasting process is presented,
together with a multi-year revenue and expenditure forecasting
model for the City of Monterey, California. The
Monterey model includes an econometric approach for projecting
revenues, while the expenditure forecast is based
on a deterministic approach. Suggestions for forecast
presentation, an approach to model updating, and a discussion
of the interrelationship between the budget formulation
and forecasting processes is also presented.
