He was a leader in streamlining and simplifying budget processes, focusing and addressing key policy issues usually ignored in the budget process. His leadership in Performance Budgeting includes the development of a prototype Results Act-Compliant Performance Budget that has served as the model for the presentation of integrated budget and performance plans to OMB and the Congress. While at the Department of the Treasury, he served 18 months as the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategy and Finance during the transition to a new administration in 2001.

Mr. Moravitz had broad knowledge in the funding challenges accompanying the full stewardship of federal government finances, and its impact on federal budget policy in general, and agency and organizational processes in particular. He had extensive knowledge and understanding of financial and general management programs and issues; demonstrated ability and experience in the federal budget and legislative process; and knowledge of the operations, organization and interrelationships of both the executive and legislative branches of government.

With the IBM Center, he wrote several articles and publications on performance management and budgeting, including selected best practices and recommended directions. He jointly authored, with Jonathan Breul, a book specifically on performance-based budgeting in the public sector, Performance and Budgeting: The Budget Office of Tomorrow, and contributed to a performance-based chapter for the International Handbook of Practice-Based Performance Management.
