What should you do before conducting an in depth funds analysis?
- A.
Develop financial plan
- B.
Conduct preliminary research
- C.
Monitor reimbursement program
- D.
Develop economic impact statement
Correct Answer
B. Conduct preliminary researchExplanation
Before conducting an in-depth funds analysis, it is important to conduct preliminary research. This involves gathering relevant information and data about the funds that will be analyzed. This research helps to provide a foundation for the analysis and ensures that the analysis is based on accurate and up-to-date information. Conducting preliminary research allows for a better understanding of the funds and their context, which ultimately leads to a more comprehensive and accurate analysis. Developing a financial plan, monitoring reimbursement programs, and developing an economic impact statement may be important steps in the overall financial management process, but they are not directly related to conducting an in-depth funds analysis.Rate this question:

Funding variances occur when reprogramming actions take place, identify the two types of funding variances?
- A.
Macro and micro
- B.
Slippage and stoppage
- C.

Acceleration, on the other hand, refers to the situation where there is an increase in the rate of spending, also resulting in a variance. These two types of funding variances highlight different patterns of fund utilization and can have implications for budget management and planning.Rate this question:
