# Budget Base Year

## Configure the year that will serve as the BASIS for the budgeting process

Defining the Budgeting Base Year will determine the values used for Current Budget, YTD, and all accounts regardless of activity.

This setting should be updated annually leading into the next budgeting cycle.

 

**Where Can I Find This?**

Locate the [Budget Entry Settings](https://kb.fundfive.com/knowledge/clarity/budget-entry-settings?hsLang=en) on the General tab under Admin \> Settings.

 

*Note: System configuration settings are specific to each institution, and so each implementation will contain documentation within its instance of Clarity containing the details about how Clarity has been deployed.*
