Conference is asked to affirm the Finance Table's (CF&A) authority to adjust budget implementation for changing economic conditions and unforeseen circumstances, and to grant funds from the Contingency Fund or Reserves to meet emergencies. This gives the Finance Table flexibility to respond mid-year while remaining accountable to report actual spending back to the conference.
