2. RAO FINANCIAL REPORTING – QUARTER 4 2014/15
Summary:
Annual (last 12 months) cost statement submissions numbers are ahead of the annual target.
However, output for the second quarter did not reach the planned quarter target, resulting in funders engagement on outstanding reports,
increased backlog trend in o/s cost statement (34 of the 40 with RAO) and other reports eg a delay in the bi-annual review and the related impact on the team.
The major contributing factors to the above continue to be
Contract set up issues and the substantial additional time dedicated to advise the RSS
Staff Movements in the RSS
