Thanks, Michael. I've been tracking expenses, and we're looking at some unexpected costs. The specialized IT equipment moving alone is coming in higher than we anticipated.

How much higher are we talking, Lisa? Is it a significant overshoot?

丽莎，我们说的更高是多少？是一个很大的超支吗？

Lisa
第 5 轮
It's about 10% over the IT moving line item. We're also seeing higher quotes for the secure shredding services, as we have more sensitive documents than initially estimated.
English
IT搬迁项目超支大约10%。安全销毁服务的报价也更高，因为我们发现需要销毁的敏感文件比最初估计的要多。

Sarah
第 6 轮
Okay, so we need to account for these. Do we have any buffer in the current budget, or are we looking at a request for additional funds?

中文翻译
👨
Michael

We have a small contingency fund built in, but based on Lisa's figures, it won't be enough to cover both. We'll need to reallocate, or probably request an additional $5,000 to be safe.
English
我们确实预留了一小笔应急资金，但根据丽莎的数据，这笔钱不足以覆盖这两项。我们需要重新分配，或者为了保险起见，可能需要额外申请5000美元。

I think requesting additional funds is the safest bet. Trying to cut corners now could lead to bigger problems later, especially with IT and security.
