Principles of Appropriations Law Training - An Orientation to Federal Fiscal Law

We have three classes scheduled at GAO in fiscal year 2010:

    • March 23 - 25
    • May 18 - 20, and
    • July 27 - 29.

These classes are held primarily for GAO employees; however, we allot about 10 - 15 slots per class for outside participants.

All FY 2010 classes are currently full. You can get on the waiting list, but you still may not get into a class. We will contact you if a space becomes available.

We also schedule contracted group training for federal agencies upon request.
