Subject: Updated - Approval Authorizations

As mentioned in my previous memo regarding Cash Control Standards, approval
authorizations are critical to our cash control environment. Corporate
Accounts Payable is actively pursuing a "Workflow" system to route invoice
images for approval and processing. This workflow solution will not be
implemented until early 2001. In the interim, an approval process will be
implemented by AP and Treasury to ensure invoices have proper approvals and
correct general ledger coding. Effective Monday, November 20 the following
approval authorizations will be required for all invoices, payment requests
and wire transfer requests that are $1,000,000 or greater:

(A) Those NOT approved by an underlying contract or RAC require two
approvals: a Managing Director approval of the payment, and an Accounting
Director approval of the general ledger coding.

(B) Those that ARE approved by an underlying contract or RAC require an
Accounting Director approval of the payment and general ledger coding.

In both examples above, supporting documentation must be attached. If not
attached, then the payment will not be processed.

To assist us with implementing this approval process, I'm requesting each of
you to accumulate signatures of the Managing Directors and Accounting
Directors in your business unit using the attached form. Please forward this
information to Larry Dallman (JFR568) by Friday, November 10th.

This new process becomes effective Monday, November 20th. It important to
provide this information or payments greater than $1,000,000 will not be
processed.
