Questions and answers

Yes, Comptroller General Decisions B-233243, B-213141- O.M., and B-321296 determined that agencies may use current fiscal year’s funds to pay for training in the next fiscal year, if the training is deemed a bona fide need. In order to classify as a bona fide need, the training must meet the following requirements:

  1. The training provider requires the agency to register during the expiring fiscal year;
  2. There is only one date offered; and
  3. The time between registration and the training is not excessive.

For more information on carrying over fiscal year funds, please refer to the  Training Administration Fast Facts Index.
