The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the City's budget and research arm. OMB is responsible for all budget and strategic planning exercises, and provides research and analysis on key management issues facing City departments.
One primary way in which this goal is achieved is through the collection and analysis of data. In this regard, OMB is the chief data office of the City. OMB works with each department to improve the collection, accuracy, and dissemination of critical data, which is then used to enhance the transparency and efficiency of City operations.
