be given the payment order.
Step 3: Together with the payment order, client shall pay the
amount at the Fund Management Office (Cashier'

ceipt.
Step 4: Client shall photocopy the official receipt and forward
the original copy to the IDSA.
Step 5: Client can now get the Certification of Statistical

2.4 Processing lime
Analysis of data will be provided completely and with accurate
results within a reasonable period of time ( usually, results may
be given 4-5 working days upon submission of data and necessary
documents via email). Often, though, results can be delayed by
unanticipated problems with the data, availability of computer
resources, and seasonally heavy workloads. For large or unusual
datasets, extra time may be needed to research a solution,
manipulate the data, and compute the results.
Depending on the complexity of the problem and cunent workload,
the consultant will give the researcher/s an estimated timeframe
for their solution.
If a deadline must be met it is the responsibitity of the researcher
to provide ample time for statistical consulting. Researchers must
inform the consultant of any deadlines.
2.5 Payment Procedures
Payments are made after all the services requested by the clients
have been provided by the office. The steps to follow on paying
the consulting fees are provided below:
