Interpreting Budget Reports

Below is a sample of a Budget Report.  Every Club Sport President will get a copy of their Budget Report e-mailed to them at the middle of every month.  The report will reflect all the budget transactions that occurred during the previous month.  It also includes year to date postings.  It is important to check your budget reports carefully to make sure all payments and reimbursements are accurate.  If you have questions regarding your report please contact Joyce.
