E-mail from Division Head to Accounting Manager and IT Director
I’ve just received a notification that the housing agency has not received our 2013 summaries. Failure to submit these documents threatens our reimbursement for client services, and that could result in a $250,000 hole in our budget. We can’t afford to lose that kind of money on a clerical error, especially on a task as routine as this one. We provide those summaries every quarter. It’s the same form, same data sources, and same date of submission. How can we allow ourselves to be two quarters behind?
