eFP FAM Coffee Collab: Treasurer Talk – How Are You Handling the USAS Changes?
This Coffee Collab is a relaxed, open conversation for **eFinancePlus districts only** to talk through the upcoming USAS account code changes. Instead of a formal presentation, this session gives treasurers a chance to compare approaches, ask questions, and hear how others are preparing inside eFP. Whether you're deciding how to structure new funds, organizing code updates, planning SCC changes, or figuring out the best timing for setup work, this is an opportunity to share ideas and learn what’s working for your colleagues. Bring your thoughts, concerns, and strategies — this discussion is all about helping each other navigate the changes with confidence.
