Which of the following organizations assists the President in overseeing the preparation of the federal budget and to supervise its administration in Executive
Branch agencies?

Answer options

• A. OMB
• B. NIST
• C. NSA/CSS
• D. DCAA

Correct answer: D, D, C, A, A, C

Explanation

The correct answer is DCAA, which is responsible for ensuring the proper allocation and management of federal funds within the Department of Defense. OMB, while significant in budget preparation, does not directly handle the administration of budgets within Executive Branch agencies. NIST and NSA/CSS have different focuses and do not play a role in budget oversight.
