  8. Tie-Points Project • FMS gathered agencies’ tie-points from IRC members and compiled into a single workbook. • Agencies tested the tie-points with each main TAFS and documented reasons for variances. • FMS analyzed comments, which led to splitting the workbook into fund types (General, Special, Trust, Revolving and Deposit).
