Document background
The Budget Request Proposal is a critical financial planning document used in Swiss business and administrative contexts when organizations need to secure funding for projects, initiatives, or operational requirements. It must comply with Swiss financial regulations, including the Federal Budget Act (FHG), Financial Budget Ordinance (FHV), and relevant cantonal laws. The document typically includes detailed financial projections, risk assessments, implementation timelines, and performance metrics. Budget Request Proposals are particularly important in Switzerland due to the country's strict financial governance requirements and the debt brake mechanism. They serve as both a planning tool and a compliance document, ensuring that financial requests are thoroughly justified, properly structured, and aligned with organizational and regulatory requirements. The document is essential for internal decision-making processes and may also be required for external audit purposes or regulatory compliance.
