I would say that this should go with the quarterly budget reviews as
sort of review 0. Because budget meetings can become long vast times
of "KILL ME NOW." type meetings these are especially good to have an
agenda, and someone who is going to run that meeting quickly and
cleanly with all sorts of side conversations to be tabled onto mailing
lists or ticket systems.
Good advice.

Yes, roughly. :)
Would it help if they went over what they are doing well?
It's nothing elaborate: they have a planning FAD every year, regularly
keep their budget page up to date, and keep close track of spending and
reimbursements.
