2.10- <br /> JUSTIFICATION (continued) <br /> • <br /> Direct Input: Our agency has the largest-volume of check requests of any <br /> county dpeartment. At the present time we are on a manual check request <br /> system - in which DSS fills out a check request and has to deliver it to <br /> Finance Office six (6).blocks away or have a one (1) day delay in using <br /> county courier service. 'Finance then enters check request into computer. <br /> We are requesting that date processing write a special program to enable <br /> DSS to key in check request data on a terminal at DSS. Once a check re- <br /> quest <br /> is entered on the screen two copies will be printed (one for DSS and <br /> one for Finance) and then the data entered into the computer. At this <br /> point DSS has no further control or input over the processing, approval, <br /> setting date check is to be issued, etc. . The computer program will allow <br /> Finance to compare paper copy with data entered by DSS and make decisions <br /> . on which requests will have checks printed and on what check rim. The <br /> paper copy will continue to have DSS authorizing signatures and back-up <br /> data, reduce errors, reduce personnel cost in both departments'and not com- <br /> promise the control Finance needs. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> - <br />
