Delegation of Authority (DOA) Request

Executive Order (EO) 1000 - Delegation of Fiscal Authority and Responsibility - states "The campus President is delegated authority and responsibility for effective oversight of all state funds held by the campus and all funds held in a fiduciary capacity." As such, Cal Poly Pomona has provided signature authority to certain individuals based on their level in the organization to approve various fiscal transactions. Within each division, the Vice President is responsible for the overall operations of the division and may assign signature authority to certain employees in compliance with Cal Poly Pomona signature authority policy and procedures.

Delegation of Fiscal Authority provides signature authority to certain individuals based on their level in the organization to review and approve various transactions and authorize the expenditure of monies. Signature authority is granted by Fund or Department ID.
