Important Updates/Questions
– Change of deadline for THE Budget Sheet preliminary
submission is Feb 5, 2014
– Question: Would it be valuable for us to rework THE
Budget Sheet to include columns for Operating,
Internally Restricted, Externally Restricted (Grants &
Contracts), Externally Restricted (Gifts), All Funds
within FY 14 budget and actuals?
– Question: Do we want to consider match
income/expenses as Internally Restricted or as part of
Operating?

why this early

can be adjusted as long as there is a valid explanation
