Government agencies also use a similar process when developing budgets but they face additional constraints due to legal requirements imposed by federal and state laws regarding how funds can be spent. Governments must comply with laws governing public procurement practices, allowable uses of funds under various grant programs, restrictions related to public debt levels, limitations on personnel hiring practices and other regulations set forth by elected officials or regulatory agencies at all levels of government (federal/state/local). Additionally, governments may need to work with outside institutions such as local community groups or nonprofits when administering certain programs funded through grants or donations from those entities.

Financial planning processes affect collaboration among human service providers because they determine which services can be provided to clients based upon available funding sources. For example, if government funding is restricted only for mental health services than other essential services such as child care may not be available even though there is a need in the community for these types of programs. Similarly if nonprofit organizations lack sufficient resources then collaborations between different providers may not exist due to limited capacity or other priorities unrelated to providing direct client assistance such as fundraising activities necessary for sustainability purposes.

Financial reporting practices further complicate collaboration efforts since each entity has its own reporting requirements which must be met in order to receive reimbursement from funders (e.g., governments) regardless of whether those reports are relevant in terms of documenting actual client outcomes or measuring collective impact across multiple partner agencies delivering overlapping services meant address a shared problem (such as substance abuse). Furthermore the timing required by funders could conflict with the scheduling preferences held by individual providers who wish recognize proper attribution for collaborative results achieved via cross-agency efforts rather than just focusing exclusively upon internal agency success metrics captured before monies have been expended on joint initiatives with external partners whom are not obligated participating throughout entire duration of project life cycles without some form remuneration commensurate with effort put forth during early stages prior receiving final payouts from joint projects..

Finally it should also noted that fluctuations currency exchange rates along inflationary pressures can create unforeseen circumstances where increased costs associated purchasing internationally sourced products used deliver human services might exceed original budgetary allowances despite best intentions implement cost savings measures identified during initial plan development process which ultimately leads reduced quantity quality assistance offered disadvantaged populations served.
