14-A-007 - Policy Manual (PM) 10,001 and Form DA-115 Revised to Include Authorized Agency Officials for Lodging up to 50% Above Established Rates, Lodging at Conference Rates, and Out-of-State Travel

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PM 10,001 provides instructions for the preparation and use of Form DA-115, Authorized Agency Officials.   The DA-115 has been revised to include the authorized agency approvers for lodging up to 50% above established rates, lodging at conference rates, and out-of-state travel.

The DA-115 serves as an internal control document and the Department of Administration will rely on the DA-115 to determine the authorized agency approvers when performing audits of travel expense reports to verify that proper approval was granted for lodging up to 50% above established rates, lodging at conference rates, and out-of-state travel.

The new DA-115 must be completed by each agency prior to July 1, 2014 and submitted to the Audit Services Team, Office of the Chief Financial Officer.  In addition, a new DA-115 must be submitted whenever the agency head or other listed officials change.

The DA-115 should be submitted using one of the following three options:

Fax:  (785) 296-6841
