3. Auditor’s Office Responsibilities & Agency Accountability Accounts Payable Directive: Accounts Payable Directive: Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 319.16, warrants shall be issued upon presentation of the proper order or voucher and evidentiary matter for the moneys, and keep a record of all such warrants showing the number, date of issue, amount for which drawn, in whose favor, for what purpose, and on what fund. If the validity of an expenditure is uncertain, the agency who presented the voucher shall be notified. In English, we verify who, what, where, when, and why the expenditure was fulfilled, and then cut a check. Keep in mind, invoices, from time to time, may need to be returned to an agency for clarification; please don’t take it personally, we’re just doing our job. Auditing: Auditing: We base our internal reviewing practices on recommendations & bulletins from the Ohio Auditor of State (AOS), opinions of the Ohio Attorney General, the Ohio Revised & Administrative Codes, and applicable Federal, State or Local regulations. Expenditures submitted that do not conform to established agency policy, reflect indistinct detail, or which may be misconstrued as not having Proper Public Purpose may be returned so that additional substantiation may be provided. Invoices that are unique in nature should be accompanied by an signed, administrative memo explaining the special circumstance of the payment. Payment Processing: Payment Processing: To expedite payment to your vendor, please ensure that your agency’s policy and procedure is being followed and the original invoice contains all the data necessary for our review. Each invoice must be endorsed and stamped received by authorized agency personnel. Finally, don’t forget to code batches that require special processing in MUNIS, by writing the payment method in the upper left-hand corner of the Invoice Entry Proof List in RED ink.
