祝贺你!

The Commonwealth is fortunate to have you among its leadership.

We in the Office of the Comptroller look forward to working with you.

In addition to your mission-based responsibilities, you have responsibility for the financial management and fiscal oversight of your agency. This critical oversight falls upon you under state finance law and the Comptroller’s decentralized Department Head Signature Authorization Policy.

Under the policies of the Office of the Comptroller, while retaining overall responsibility, you may delegate the day-to-day responsibilities among certain members of your leadership team and staff utilizing the Department Head Signature Authorization Policy. For details regarding the responsibilities of the key contacts, please review the Key State Law Compliance Roles and Responsibilities document.

This process will allow you and your delegates to use electronic 标志atures.

CTR的 Department Signature Authorization in MMARS Transactions Policy outlines what’s required to delegate 标志ature authorization and to use electronic 标志atures for MMARS documents within the accounting system. Once the department head has delegated this authority, your agency’s department security officer must enter the MMARS transaction document, UDOC, to grant this level of authorization.

Enterprise systems security roles will remain in place during any transition period when a new department head is appointed but should be updated and ratified as appropriate as soon as the department head assumes their responsibilities.

Aprel McCabe, CTR的学习节目 & 解决方案经理, serves ready to speak or meet with you and members of your leadership team to explain these key policies to you in greater detail and to help set your agency up to comply with these policies.
