Assistant for Administration and Budget Relly Limliman and Disbursement and Operation Liaison Officer Lyndia Navarro met with members of the College of Liberal Arts staff on April 27, 2013 to discuss the basics of preparing a financial activity-based budget (ABB). Two members of the CLA office, six department secretaries and two CLA research center staff members participated in the informal discussion at the SDRC. The discussion focused on what to include in the CAPEX (capital expenditures) and OPEX (operating expenses) budgets for AY 2013-14, and was also a venue for addressing related concerns on budget preparation.
