Conclusion The Office of the Treasurer is undergoing its most significant restructuring in the last 20 years. One outcome will be a stronger investment function. Another outcome will be increased transparency. Although there is room for improvement, donor and public funds are being protected and invested wisely. 10/01/07 13
