“Dr. Aman Khan has written a masterful budgeting book that allows even a novice to understand the economic, structural, and political aspects of the governmental budgetary process. Most importantly, he provides ample analytical tools—along with numerous examples—to help a student or practitioner make budget forecasts and prepare an operating or capital budget. This book will not only be a great benefit to students but also to those who prepare budgets for governments.” (Terry Patton, Robert Madera Distinguished Professor of Accounting, Midwestern State University, USA)
