Team,
I tried to gather the accounting requirements in one place and expand
on previous discussions and email. You'll also find an expanded list
of accounting tasks to be completed from yesterday's meeting.
Please review this list carefully for accuracy and completeness. I'd
like these lists to be our complete detailed breakdown of accounting
work. So, please look this over carefully and respond to the list
with corrections & additions.
