7. Impact Statement (Explanation of Impact to the agency include any concerns on timeline)
By limiting our Advertising, Public Relations, and Research object codes, we are concerned with how we will be able to produce our Monthly Financial Statements in a timely and effective (detailed) way as required by Florida
Citrus Commission.
We are providing you with a copy of our Monthly Financial Statement and look to you for guidance on how we should proceed through this project and accomplish both the state’s goals and meet our reporting requirements. Is there a way through expansion options, set, and organizational codes to re-structure our layout and achieve the same end?
At this point, we are not asking for specific object codes, as the workshops seem to indicate that there are other ways to get this level of detail. If there is, we will be happy to conform. If there is not, we may then need to request additional object codes.
We have attached the definitions you requested, an additional code we are requesting, and the deletion of 2 codes that you were proposing for our use.
