Shout out to Jeremy Farmer (BG2EAA)!
Shout out to Jeremy Farmer, of the Pegasys Financial Services Financial Information Control Branch (BG2EA), for his continued support of FAS and Other Funds asset duties while performing new assigned duties. Jeremy has been very supportive of his co-worker who has been learning these asset duties. Jeremy takes the needed time to answer questions and provide additional insight into the duties.

Shout out to Adrienne Maybin and Jon Carlson (both BGF)!
Shout out to Adrienne and Jon for revamping the VIT and Asset Reconciliation process to streamline the categories and simplify the process. Your hard work and collaboration will assist us in validating the Assets in FLEET's inventory more accurately.
Submitted by: Angela Ashley (BGF)
Shout out to Derek Blanchard, Fatime Diabate, Blaire Belle, and Seth Thomas (all BGF)!
In the month of March, the Financial Operations and Controls Branch team that supports the legacy FEDSIM program keyed $4.25 million in refunds. Derek, who is responsible for managing the refund process, led the group to key the largest amount that has ever been keyed in a single month by our team. By keying these refunds, the credits are entered into the feeder system and eventually passed on to the customer. This has a cascading effect of cleaner, more efficient reconciliations and reporting. Thank you to the team for making my job easier!
