Web-based or Online Ministry Finance applications: (4)

        Web-based, or Online,  Ministry Finance Applications are best explained when you go to  0904  and digest what I have shared about ASPs, etc.  Suffice is to say,  I trust that your Ministry is making appropriate and full use of the Internet resources as you care for your financial matters.  Please go to  0109  and learn about how such tasks might be assigned.  I trust you find helpful the "Application Grid" below by type of Ministry:
