CBO Uprooted Myths

It’s not uncommon for inaccurate or incomplete information about business processes to circulate. CALS staff, faculty, and students are invited to submit such “myths” to the CBO for review. The CBO will clarify or confirm their accuracy by responding directly to the individual who submitted them, and share select examples during the CALS Finance Forums and on our website to help address common misconceptions.
