1. Slide - 1 Orion Microsystems Grant Reporting System Added Value Functional Capabilities August 13, 2007

2. Slide - 2 [ThuanCook1]I think this is a bit technical. Essentially, the Grantee would have access to GLOWS, input the information, and this information is imported into the agencys financial system.[ThuanCook1]I [ThuanCook2]Why would this be any different than what is recorded now. For example, when an agency makes an award, they could create a commitment, obligation, and record the disbursement. What additional data is GLOWS providing to the financial system outside of these three accounting events? [ThuanCook3]This makes a huge assumption that the grantees information is accurate to start with. For example, if PMS is tells the agency that the grantee withdrew $100 (which has already been recorded in the agencys financial system as a disbursement) and the grantee said that they withdrew $50, how do these two things reconcile? [ThuanCook4]What performance metrics can be captured? Examples would be great. [ThuanCook5]At a high level, when an agency makes a grant, it is already being tracked. For example, the agency would obligate $100 to Grantee #1. This grantee would already be in the financial system as a vendor. How is GLOWS different from what is currently being housed in the financial system. How does GLOWS improve accuracy? [ThuanCook6]If an agency has an asset management system, they could record the reclaimed asset. 1.1 GLOWS contains an automatic import and export process that uses XML format and provides 24/7 online access to Grantor and Grantee alike [ThuanCook1].
