TO DO --------------------------------------------------------------
Move expenditures off NSF and put on DoD
Set up alert system for reports needed

DREAMS --------------------------------------------------------------

Personal Refunds
	Please list all items submitted for refunds at level of
	credit card entry and travel request. 
	Goal is for me to be able to monitor all my credit card expenses
	and check that business expenses submitted and refunded
	Also that all submitted expenses are received by me
	Indicate date of submittal of refund and "local agency" sent to. 
	Log refunds received by me and check off items on list.


Features of "Creative Use of Money"
	Make certain that when choices, money used "optimally"
	i.e. use account that respects rules but minimizes
	     overhead paid noting that federal money has no overhead on equipment
	     but pays overhead on people. State and discretionary accounts have
	     no overhead -- implies use federal money for equipment where possible
	     (NSF particularly flexible)
	Make certain that contract end deadlines are noted well ahead of time and
	funds expended appropriately. Note DoD is very nervous about "rate of billing"
	Please monitor this

Features of Financial Tracking/Projection
	Project ahead at least one year. Currently we should be projecting to December 2001
	Projections should be done as expected expenditures by month
	
	There should be stated assumptions in terms of dollars input for each given source
	at given begin and end time
	There should be stated assumptions in terms of who has to be paid (at level of person)
	with what rate and what constraints as to contracts which can be charged.
	People have salary, fringe benefits, tuition as appropriate
	Hardware / Software "special" expenditures should be listed
	Other expenditures (consulting, sub contracts) should be listed.
	items should be listed as one time charges or as monthly rates for a particular
	time period.
	
	Subcontracts should not be included below but subtracted from grant ab initio

Simplest Summary output is a bunch of columns with one row per month
The following output columns should be present
	1) Notations as to when slugs of money start
	2) Expected monthly expenditures based on constant monthly expenditures
	of input money slugs with correction for special expected expenditures
	3) Special expected expenditures (e.g. IBM machine)
	4) Actual monthly expenditure -- as recorded or projected in recurring and special
	categories (really 2 columns)
	5) Cumulative dollars left as cumulative input (pro-rated for expected use till this month)
	   minus expenditgures. This is 2) + 3) - 4)
	6) Monthly expenditures divided into following categories
		Student salaries
		All people except student salaries but including consultants
		Tuition
		Fringe Benefits
		Travel
		Hardware or Software / Related Computer Expenses
		Miscellaneous (telephone, paper ....)
		Overhead

All columns should be totalled in separate rows for 
	a) Last Month for which real expenditures known
	b) Last Month of projection

Analysis should be performed for
	ALL Money Sources and separately for
		Federal Grants
		State Budget
		The rest -- Eppes/Donations

We may wish to divide sources of funding into "groups" corresponding to
related contracts. This is not necessary initially
