Hi Mai,
I have attached the finance spreadsheet for QBKK which contains the 2015 September Outlook (SOL) & 2016 Budget numbers for both Capital Expense (CAPEX) & Operating Expense (OPEX), for your study & action:
1) 2015 September Outlook:
Please review the figures submitted for the following categories: “R&M”, “Office Supplies” & “Other Office Expenses”. The figures have been updated for the months of August to December but since it is already early-September, you will need to deduct 1) the actual spend in August & 2) the value of works completed but not yet invoiced to get a good idea of the remaining amount of money which you have left to spend till end-Dec (invoice submitted by end 2015).
Please let me know for each category if we are:
a. Still on track for the 4 next months
b. May need to employ some cost savings measures
c. There is an expected surplus so that we can try to stockpile some supplies/repairs in this year
*Can you also help me to check with the Finance team what the USD366 charged under Travel/Lodging/Meals & Entertainment were for?
