9.23: Gabby sent corrections to Joyce to check

Joyce asked me to phone her – the corrections still aren’t correct. Went over to see her and go through what had to be done. It appeared that the items Joyce had highlighted were not the actual changes that needed to be done on many of them. She showed me the changes that still had to be made – I took note on the spreadsheets and followed up regurgitating in an email to ensure I had the changes correct

Speaking to Gabby later he said that that was not what Joyce had told him and that the balance total was not the one she was now saying so there seems to be a bit of confusion about what was actually to have been changed. Looking at the spreadsheets it was easy to see where Gabby and Clive had made the amends but they weren’t the correct amendments. Gabby did not have time to complete the amends today but Clive is back tomorrow.

22/8:

Joyce came over to see Gabby about some corrections that were still wrong. Dev still down so they talked through the corrections. Gabby checked his files and all corrections apart from 2 had been made in Dev but they don’t seem to transferred for Joyce to check – she will check when Dev back up

Asked Joyce about the flow diagrams but she said it was okay to leave them as she was producing a best practice document that Liz was keen to send out around Finance

21/8:

Efin down so not sure if Joyce will get the fixes tested.

20/8:

Joyce emailed to say that she was concerned about the scripts being completed in time for year end as the latest she can do a journal is 5 pm Wednesday 23rd. – She has not mentioned this date before. Spoke to Gabby – he cannot understand why the records are still wrong. After some investigation it appears that the changes that Joyce has highlighted should actually be made to another column in the spreadsheet – not the highlighted one. Also there have never been any spreadsheets for some of the outstanding items. Emailed Joyce to ask for spreadsheets plus an explanation on how the records should be changed. Joyce emailed them back and Gabby applied to DEV.
