 Our Financial Management Methodology:
Team CBS’s approach to financial management and accounting operations is structured around the “sum of the parts” theory.  Exemplary financial management and excellence in the production of FACTS I, FACTS II and auditable financial statements are the sum of all of the components in the process.  They are a function of the business processes, internal controls, policies and procedures, financial management systems, and personnel.  All of these factors affect the quality of the data being reported and accounting operations.  The age-old phrase, “Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO)”, has never been truer.  Quality must be built into the process at each component.
