An agency with a top-tier code and no name reports this function to the account data and does not appear in the award table the names come from. Its figure is the publisher’s; the missing name is ours.
What this data cannot show
- A budget function is reported per agency and never nationally. The figure at the top of this page is a sum over the rows in the table below, not a total the publisher published.
- Gross outlays are not net outlays and neither is money spent in the sense a reader means. An agency’s figure can be negative when it recovers more than it pays out under a heading in the period.
- The fiscal year is not over. These are the figures reported so far.
- Budget functions describe purpose, not programme. Money under one heading can pay for work a reader would file under several, and one programme can appear under more than one heading in different agencies.
