<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m going to make this short and sweet so that I can get back to the monumental project at hand! Account reconciliations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I underestimated the work and analysis of that needed to be done to the accounts and fell short of my promise to have all account reports in your email inboxes by Monday the 11<sup>th</sup>. I give myself an E for effort as I spent the
entire weekend driven to meet that goal, but in the end, I had to admit defeat around midnight Sunday evening. I was able to send out most of the reports and Gaby and I began meeting with people on Monday. These meetings have been an enormous help in making
necessary changes to accounts as well as helping Gaby and I understand the big picture of the work and commitments of the account PIs. We can’t do our jobs efficiently or correctly if we don’t know the details. I want to express our appreciation in everyone
taking the time out of busy schedules to meet. <o:p></o:p></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Account reports will be sent out each month and if there is ever a need to set up a meeting for account review, please send an email to the SPLS-BIZOFFICE email and a meeting will
be set up as soon as possible. I would like to allocate at least one 3-week period on my calendar each year for in depth account review meetings with each PI. It would be best finance wise to do this in April so that all the changes can be completed and
approve by fiscal year end.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

it’s not going to get approve or go out until Monday.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Dr. Galbraith and I attended an Urgent Business Retreat yesterday with Dean Burgess, Jeff Ratje, Janice Rutherford, the unit heads. This meeting was about the new method of how budgets
and fund distributions are calculated by central administration that are dispersed out to the different schools and colleges within the UA. More information on this will be forthcoming once Dr. Galbraith and I have a chance to meet and go over all the details.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
