Updating Authorized Signature Forms

In order to better serve the campus and maintain internal controls to ensure against unauthorized purchases and expenses, Financial Services is requesting that all departments update their authorized signature forms.  The authorized signature forms are necessary to validate approvals for the payment of goods and services via payment request forms, working fund and petty cash, and for the processing and payment of miscellaneous and travel expenses.  The 2011 Authorized Signature Form may be found at the Financial Services website under “What’s New?”

Forward your completed forms to Peggy Ingle, supervisor of Business Services, 306 Administration Building, by August 20.  If you have any questions concerning this request, contact Ingle at ext. 5-2316 or pingle@umbc.edu. Outdated signature forms result in unnecessary delays in processing your important financial transactions, so provide your updated form as soon as possible.
