Subject: proposed solution pat , i have been working with volume management , settlements , vance , and bob to clean up some prior period and prior - to - current month issues . this process should result in a correction to booked profit / loss for vance and the desk . this has brought to my attention that we have been paying some parties manually for volumes when deals are not correctly entered . i would propose that logistics be included in the communication of when checks are manually cut . it would be especially beneficial if we tracked manual checks by counterparty , meter , and / or deal ticket id or price . i feel that this will allow us to spot and resolve potential issues more effectively . please let me know what your thoughts are on this matter . thank you for your time , mary ext 35251
