The document provides guidance on tighter purchasing controls being implemented, including new requirements for an explanation memo to be attached to all requisition forms. The memo must justify that purchases are for client needs and not personal preferences. It also describes the multi-step approval process involving the COO and fiscal departments. Follow-up paperwork like delivery slips are still needed to help process payments to vendors. Overall, the message is that budget cuts require mindfulness of spending and clear justification of all purchase needs.
