Budget planning, through public budgeting, is a financial control tool and an instrument for implementing public policies. Accurate revenue forecasting is essential for the effective execution of public resources. This study investigates the effectiveness with which federal public universities make their own revenue estimates. The methodology used was based on budget data from 69 federal universities, extracted from the Treasury Management system for the period from 2015 to 2023. The results showed that, on average, the accuracy of revenue forecasts is 82%. Some universities, especially newer ones, displayed inconsistent performance, while others showed extreme variations in revenue percentages across different years. It is noted that universities need to improve their forecasting accuracy to ensure their financial autonomy
