I agree that discussing the numbers in person with AA would be the right way
to handle this. And, I am looking to Brent in managing the current reconciliation process so he can best address the timing of the meeting. My expectation is that the vast majority of the $49MM variance will be explained and finalized by Monday at 11:00 am. This finalization obviously involves both the gas operations group and gas accounting. I will be on vacation on Monday while my parents are in town for a visit, but I have carved out time during the day at 11:00 to be in the office for an update on the reconciliation, as it is very important to me. --Sally From: Georgeanne Hodges 05/17/2000 04:39 PM To: Sally Beck@ECT, Brent A Price/HOU/ECT@ECT, Susan Harrison/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Mary Lynne Ruffer/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: AA request on DPR to G\L entry Someone from Arthur Andersen called Troy today asking to see the details of our DPR to G\L entry for March accounting. I instructed him to tell them that we would be happy to set up a meeting for later next week to sit down with them and OA to discuss the process, the April numbers and the reconciliation of those numbers. As I believe you all know, the entry that we had to book in March was close to $49 million and the April entry was closer to $25 million. They know how the process works and should understand that the variances coming from the first several months are primarily timing, but experience tells me that they will over react if we simply turn over the analysis showing $49 as they have requested. In light of the current reconciliation effort do you think we will be able to talk to them about the older items ( I would suggest only discussing things that fall into the 1999 and prior category) late next week? Let me know your thoughts.
