Budget detail worksheet

  1. Insert a column immediately after the account code, and fill this column with the account type name — Asset, Liability, Expenditure, Revenue, Other Financing Uses, Other Financing Sources, or Fund Balance/Retained Earnings.

  2. Change the amounts to the proposed amounts.
