disruption of daily operations.
. Developed and maintained a Cash Availability Report: daily borrowing,

collection percentage, invested funds and cash on hand. Charts were
generated for Daily Debt, Collection Percentage and Borrowing Minimum,

Reconciled to the pre-migration balance in a timely manner.

. Created a deposit control process to insure that all accounts

consistently meet the month-end accounts receivable deadline and
reconcile deposits to cash posted to accounts receivable.
. Generated Excel spreadsheet that simplified the process of accurate
determination of defendants' joint and several restitution debt during
a difficult US Court software conversion to a new criminal debt
system. The spreadsheet saved over 100 hours during data migration and
decreased the reconciliation process from the standard 6 months to 3
days. The US Courts Administrative Office Project Leader in
subsequent courts' conversions utilized this spreadsheet.
