FY25 A.I. E&D Simplified
***2-hour session***
We will review the balance sheet checklist and the undesignated fund balance analysis including the encumbrance process. These are the two most common hold-ups in the E&D process. We hope to better explain what is expected and what we are looking for within these two forms in order to simplify and expedite your certification. After our presentation we will have a question and answer period for all things E&D no matter if they are related to our presentation. This session is geared toward all Regional School Business personnel regardless of years of experience and all others are welcome.
