Long description for image: Figure 9. Develop Transfer Payment Budget (Subprocess 1.1.5) – Level 3 Process Flow
The figure is a process flow diagram consisting of activities, connectors, inputs and outputs, and decisions.
This diagram depicts the Level 3 process flow for Subprocess 1.1.5 – Develop Transfer Payment Budget, which begins with a connector from Subprocess 1.1.2 – Conduct Operational Planning. Subprocess 1.1.2, which is outside the scope of the Manage Planning and Budgeting business process, provides the input labelled “Draft operational plan.”
The flow advances to Activity 1.1.5.1 – Develop Transfer Payment Assumptions and then to Activity 1.1.5.2 – Develop Transfer Payment Budget. A connector from Subprocess 1.1.1 – Develop Notional Budget Allocations provides the input labelled “Notional budget allocations,” which flows to Activity 1.1.5.2 – Develop Transfer Payment Budget.
The flow continues to Activity 1.1.5.3 – Identify Transfer Payment Budget Pressures, Surpluses and Risks, followed by Activity 1.1.5.4 – Validate Transfer Payment Budget Pressures, Surpluses and Risks.
The flow advances to a decision labelled “Validated?” The NO flow for the decision “Validated?” continues to Activity 1.1.5.5 – Revise Transfer Payment Budget as Required, which flows back to Activity 1.1.5.4 – Validate Transfer Payment Budget Pressures, Surpluses and Risks. A connector from Subprocess 1.1.11 – Consolidate and Approve Plans and Budgets flows to Activity 1.1.5.5 – Revise Transfer Payment Budget as Required.
The YES flow for the decision “Validated?” leads to two outputs. The first output is labelled “Draft transfer payment budget,” and the second output is labelled “Transfer payment budget pressures and surpluses.” Both outputs continue to a connector for Subprocess 1.1.11 – Consolidate and Approve Plans and Budgets.
