5.2.1 – Authority and Responsibility for Fiscal Management

Standard: The agency’s chief administrator shall be designated as having the authority and responsibility for the fiscal management of the agency. Although an agency’s chief administrator is ultimately responsible for all agency fiscal matters, the size and complexity of the agency may dictate the need to delegate responsibility for fiscal management functions to an identifiable person or component within the agency.

Suggested Evidence of Compliance: Provide documentation demonstrating clear delegation of fiscal authority for the agency.
