It's that time of year again...

Financial year end that is!

So amongst reviewing the planning and reporting cycles and Board documentation here at BRDC, I've been helping Judith, the accountant with some preparations for end of year reporting - see Howard, I can't escape the annual report! 

Early this week I prepared an Asset Inventory of the site, which was quite the task, but a fun one as it involved a lot of the staff and students helping to identify and count the items in their departments. I'm not sure how many other jack fruit seedlings, blackboards, cows or a dog (Maisie!) I'll ever have to add to a list of assets again!

On a serious note it made me realise just how precious resources really are when you're funded by donors and can't guarantee replacements when things break down or go missing. Involving the staff and students I hope will serve as a gentle reminder to look after the items we've got for their own benefit as well as others following them.
