A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed:
The purchase of goods and services from funds administered through the State of New York, including State Operations, DIFR, IFR, and Current Restricted Fund, are subject to the New York State Finance Law, State Agency Regulations, Executive Branch Directives, and State University Policy, often resulting in a complex process. Flexibility Legislation extended real benefits to SUNY in terms of campus discretion but did little to ease complexities and deliberately placed a far greater responsibility and accountability at the campus level.
College policy requires that only authorized College representatives may make commitments for the purchase, lease, or rental of goods or services. Authorized representatives are defined as those Business Office employees specifically designated by the president and vice president for finance and management and having signatures on file with the state of New York. Additionally, P-card holders are authorized to make purchases for the college within established guidelines for cardholders. Limited purpose authorizations may at times be further delegated as circumstances warrant.
