The process of capital budgeting begins with identifying investment opportunities and collecting investment proposals. The proposals are reviewed and classified by various authorized individuals within the organization to ensure they are in line with the organization's needs. In addition, investments are grouped into categories to improve control, decision-making, and budgeting processes. These categories can be either long-term investments, short-term investments, or projects that are planned to be completed over several years.
In addition to the budget software, UW System Administration uses budget software to analyze and prioritize institutional requests for capital projects. Specifically, the UW System Administration uses budget software for facilities management. The budget software is designed to analyze institutional requests, prioritize them according to Regent-approved evaluation criteria, and develop a systemwide capital plan based on the recommendations of the plan. It allows the university to better understand educational facility needs and keeps the plans flexible so that future changes in funding levels or programmatic goals can be accommodated.
Many universities use a modified capital budget model to evaluate projects for feasibility and priority them based on their contribution to the mission of the academic unit. They then rank capital projects by their funding percentage or source. These priorities are set by administrative and academic units, with debt service being an ongoing operating expense. In some cases, this process can be cumbersome. A more appropriate approach may be to prioritize projects based on their priority relative to the mission and goals of the academic unit.
Comprehensive multi-year capital plans are a critical component of a government's long-term sustainability. Capital assets are the physical foundation of constituent services and must be properly maintained and upgraded. Planning the procurement, design, construction, and maintenance of such capital assets is critical to ensuring the continued financial health of the organization and the delivery of services to its citizens. And a well-prepared multi-year capital plan can help ensure that the government meets its obligations for many years to come.
