FIN 2.0 - Cash Disbursement :


SUMMARY/SCOPE
The Cash Disbursement policy details the authority by which state employees may purchase goods and services.

DESCRIPTION
Edmonds College is granted its purchasing authority in RCW 43.19, which allows goods and services to be purchased for the operation of the college.

The Department of Enterprise Services (DES) provides purchasing training courses which comply with the Procurement Reform Law, RCW 39.26.110, that requires all state employees who are responsible for developing, executing, or managing procurements or contracts to be trained and knowledgeable of procurement laws.

All disbursements need to be approved by DES trained budget authorities and pre-audited by Business Office personnel before funds are released. All staff will follow the Direct Buy and Bid procedures required for federal, state, and local funds.

The procurement requirements safeguard our public resources, ensure valid and allowable costs, assist in fraud prevention, and provide a framework of reliability to our financial statement reporting.
