SUBJECT: Uniform Regulation Re Agency Imprest Funds
REF Memorandum from Chief, FE to Chief, Finance Division, dated
12 January 1955; Subject: Wider Use of the Far East Division
Petty Cash Fund
1. In your informal note to the Deputy Comptroller attached to the
referenced memorandum, you inquired whether we should issue an Agency
regulation or a Comptroller issuance on this subject so that all
funds established for this purpose will be on a uniform basis. The
referenced memorandum was written to the Finance Division after the
Office of the Chief of Administration, DD/P transmitted to the Chiefs
of Administration of the Senior Staffs and Area Divisions for their
action a memorandum of the Deputy Comptroller which indicated that
proposals for wider use of petty cash funds would be approved in
appropriate circumstances.
2. Proposed Agency Regulation No. - Agency Imprest
Funds, has been submitted to the Regulations Control Staff for
coordination and issuance. This regulation has been placed in
circulation to affected offices for their concurrence and comment.
Comments have been received from the various offices and the
regulation is now ready for printing and release.
3. While Regulation No. - does not contemplate that all imprest
funds established thereunder will be used uniformly for the same
purpose, this regulation sets forth a uniform policy for the establish-
ment and operation of such funds. It specifically requiries that each
fund established "shall be used only to make payments for items of
the character indicated in the request for establishment of the fund
and shall not be used for any other purpose." Inasmuch as funds
established in various offices of the Agency will be required to
meet the specific needs of the related offices, it is deemed not
feasible or practical to establish a uniform requirement with respect
to the types of individual expenditures which can be made from all
funds
