Talk:Operating budget

This definition appears to come from http://appl.nasa.gov/resources/lexicon/terms_o.html (which I presume to be PD). Is it applicable outside NASA? --bjh21 19:18, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

In it's most general sense, yes.

If you would like, you can provide your definition of the term and we can debate/discuss the merits of both.
 * I have no definition: I'm a sysadmin, not an accountant. I was mostly wondering if every organisation with an operating budget inherently had Budget Classification Codes and suchlike.  --bjh21 19:28, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
