The Office of Budget and Management (OBM) develops budgets; administers the state's accounting system; monitors, processes, and reports on financial transactions; and reviews and coordinates the financial policies and activities of state agencies.

OBM provides financial management services and financial information to the Governor, state agencies, the legislature, municipalities, school districts, and other interested parties. In an effort to benefit all state agencies, OBM will continue to evaluate processes across agencies to determine if there are common business activities that can be provided by Ohio Shared Services.
