FFM 403 Federal Appropriations Law

Appropriations law is complex — Phoenix Canyon makes it clear. This FAI-recognized FFM 403 certification course (3-Day) fulfills FAC–FMO requirements and is also accepted for FAC–P/PM certification at the advanced level. Financial managers, program and project managers, and acquisition leaders learn to break down the Constitution’s fiscal framework, the budget process, and the rules of Purpose, Time, and Amount into simple, practical tools they can apply immediately. Through GAO Red Book principles, case studies, and applied exercises, participants gain the confidence to spot issues, apply statutory rules, and avoid Antideficiency Act violations. For agencies that cannot approve FFM-designated courses, Phoenix Canyon also offers this same training in our Federal Appropriations Law: Essentials (3-Day) as part of the Phoenix Canyon Essentials Series, with additional options available in our Comprehensive (5-Day) and Crash Course (1-Day) formats.
