Policies: Purchasing Management Review

1. PURPOSE

To create a documented process by which Purchase Orders created by delegated agents across campus will be reviewed by the Director of Purchasing to insure compliance with Department of Administration (DOA) procurement rules and regulations.

2. SCOPE

At least once per calendar year, the Procurement Director will audit Purchase Orders created by sub-delegated agents across campus and create an audit log of these audits.  Audit log will check for compliance of DOA procurement rules and regulations and log whether the Purchase Order was compliant or not.  For any Purchase Orders found not in compliance, the Purchasing Director will evaluate the root cause of the non-compliance and take corrective action as necessary. An annual report will be created after each audit and made available for review upon request.
