From afinvpc at okstate.edu Tue Feb 5 11:07:03 2002 From: afinvpc at okstate.edu (David Bosserman) Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 11:07:03 -0600 Subject: [Cobo] San Antonio Workshops - Time is Short Message-ID: I hope this finds you well; with power back on after the ice storm; and, with a snow cover that is beautiful to look at, but not hazardous. You should have received a Brochure from SACUBO for two concurrent workshops in San Antonio on March 4, 2002. The workshops are: GASB: Lessons Learned. This workshop is intended to update the student on GASB regulations for reporting under GASB Statements 34 and 35 as amended, followed by a presentation by Oklahoma State University concerning lessons learned during their implementation of GASB 34 and 35 as amended. No prerequisites or advanced preparation is necessary. OR Crisis Management: Campus Stopping Events. This one-day session explores the lessons learned from campuses where major disruptions caused by earthquakes, fires or major violence have forced campus-wide closures or immediate police action. It will also provide you with an opportunity to review, discuss and leave the workshop with a sample crisis management plan. This session is also designed to help administrators prepare to manage the physical challenges posed by different kinds of emergencies, to establish effective communications with those on and off campus during the emergencies, to restore normal functioning as soon as possible, and to deal with the long-lasting psychological impact of such campus-stopping events. No prerequisites or advance preparation is necessary. While we in Oklahoma have already implemented GASB 34/35, the GASB: Lessons Learned workshop is an excellent vehicle for any new accountants/financial assistants on your staff who will be working with your Financial Statements preparation team this year. It will train them about GASB requirements and then about implementation issues. The concurrent workshop, Crisis Management: Campus Stopping Events is a timely and essential workshop for you, your campus security chief, and your physical plant director and his/her staff. Last year, OSU had a campus-stopping event, and we had to learn from scratch about what to do and how to handle a myriad of issues. This workshop will take you and your staff through the various actions needed when a campus-stopping event occurs. No one expects to have a campus-stopping event, but it could happen at any time. I recommend these workshops to you and request you give serious consideration to attending, yourself, and sending key members of your staff. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only time the Crisis Management workshop will be offered close to Oklahoma this year, and I have seen no plans for offering the GASB session in the immediate future. If you need further information or want to register on-line, please go to www.sacubo.org. If I can answer any questions concerning these workshops, please do not hesitate to contact me.

With this memo, you now have all of the information that I have available. You will be kept advised of further developments. Nancy M. Tarr Budget Analyst Office of State Finance 2300 N. Lincoln, Suite 122 Oklahoma City, OK 73105-4801 phone 405/521-3097 fax 405/521-3902 e-mail Nancy.Tarr at osf.state.ok.us ----- Forwarded by Nancy Tarr/OSF/US on 02/20/2002 03:20 PM ----- Rollo Redburn To: BudgetDivision 02/20/2002 cc: 02:31 PM Subject: Revenue shortfall continued If your agencies have to have an answer now, use this: 1. Approximate cut for 2002 General Revenue will be 1.6%. 2. March allocation reduction will be somewhere between 6.4% and 7.8% (unless revenues are much worse than we think they will be). We notified agencies that March would be real short but we would give them all the allocation in Jan. and Feb. if we could to provide more flexibility. 3. April, May, June allocations will be approx. 4% short. 4. We'll review this on a monthly basis to see if we need to adjust. 5. Not requiring another BWP revision at this point (it could wind up being a monthly thing!). We'll ask agencies to reduce their allotments in accordance with the additional anticipated shortfall. 6. We'll require a revision at the end of the year to balance it all out.
