February 18, 2010B&C WG Welch LLP Performance Review Budget estimates were made more difficult due to unknown budget estimates with limited data. Welch handled extremely well with actual amounts within $15,000 of original forecast. Welch's persistence while working with FCC for write off package for delinquent payments with timely resolution. Welch prepared a detailed Operational Review for 2009, in an easy to follow format with out being given a deadline or being prompted to deliver. Contribution factor approval was delayed which caused delays in the process. This made more work for the B&C agent which was handled very well.
