Design of F & A tree.

Becky to arrange meeting with Ben Martin to discuss F&A tree.  A fair amount of time was spent discussing the F&A tree and possible design of it.

 

Assignments for next meeting:  

1.        Continue working on F&A tree understanding

2.     Read PeopleBooks on F&A Process

 

The website has been redesigned and suggestions for improvements are being accepted.

A list of questions for a consultant was started and included the following:

                Should budget categories be in alignment with G/L?

                Are there budget category types in G/L?

                Do we have to have both an inclusion and exclusion base type in the F&A tree?

 

Issues:

 

                Getting a consultant to advise on F&A tree.  It might be a larger task than originally thought and help might not be available from PeopleBooks.       

 

Decisions made:

 

                None.
