> The University of Minnesota is currently undergoing a business process redesign project for Sponsored Financial Reporting.  We are researching possible attributes of a "best practice" process and would welcome information from our peers.  Below are some questions about Unidentified Remittances, both general and in regards to sponsored accounts:
>
> 1. On average, how many unidentified remittances do you receive weekly (checks and wires)?
> 2. On an average weekly basis, how many hours are spent researching these unidentified remittances?
> 3. Have you streamlined the research of these remittances (especially wires/EFT99)?
> 4. Are there differences in the way you handle unidentified checks vs. unidentified wires?
> 5. Have you identified any patterns with specific agencies?
> 6. What corrective actions have you taken with your funding agencies to improve remittance data, thus enabling you to more efficiently apply cash?
> 7. Any other relevant information or comments/suggestions?
>
> Thank you for your help.
