The variance columns are formatted to highlight for any variances of +/- 10% or +/- $500,000, whichever is greater. It would help our job immensely if you could use comments (the "post-its") to enter brief variance analysis descriptions on the appropriate cell. Of course, if you also want to submit a more detailed written description, please feel free to do so.
The analysis must be returned to Andrew Harker no later than Friday, October 28th . If you will have a problem meeting that deadline, please contact Andrew.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact anyone in our office.
