Routing of General Vouchers for Internal Revenue Allotments

August 7, 1968 REVENUE MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 41-68 SUBJECT : Routing of General Vouchers for Internal Revenue Allotments In order to minimize red tape and expedite action on general vouchers for internal revenue allotments, all such vouchers shall no longer be coursed through the Revenue Operations Head (Administrative Services) for processing. This step is under-taken in view of the opinion and consent of the GAO Auditors that the certification of the Revenue Operations Head (Administrative Services) on such vouchers is not very necessary. This step will also relieve the Revenue Operations Head (Administrative Services) of this function for more essential administrative decision-making responsibilities. After preparation and certification by the Accounting Division of such vouchers, the papers and the corresponding treasury warrants shall be forwarded directly to the Deputy Commissioner (Administration) for approval. After approval, the vouchers shall follow the usual routes. Pending the acquisition of a check-writer for use by the Accounting Division, the amounts of the internal revenue allotments shall be check-written on the vouchers and on the treasury warrants by representatives of the Accounting Division using the check-writer of the Administrative Services Department. This task shall be performed meanwhile in the Office of the Revenue Operations Head (Administrative Services) aisadc This Order takes effect immediately. MISAEL P. VERA Commissioner of Internal Revenue August 2, 1968 MEMORANDUM FOR: The Deputy Commissioner for Administration Thru the Revenue Operations Head (Management Planning) This has reference to your instructions to the undersigned to make a study of the feasibility of eliminating the coursing of general vouchers covering internal revenue allotments thru the Revenue Operations Head (Administrative Services). The matter had been discussed with the Auditors for their opinion and they are in agreement that the certification of the Revenue Operations Head (Administrative Services) is superfluous in the case of internal revenue allotments. Consequently, the Auditors have no objection to the elimination of the certification as a further step in eliminating unnecessary red-tape and expediting action on vouchers covering internal revenue allotments. As regards the check-writing of the approve amounts of internal revenue allotments on the vouchers and the covering treasury warrants, the Bureau has the alternative of purchasing another check-writer for the use of the Accounting Division or this Office may, for economy, assign one of its employees to check-write the amounts in the vouchers and the treasury warrants in the Office of the Administrative Services Department. This Office will effect the revision in procedures as soon as it is instructed accordingly. JOSE A. RESURRECCION Chief, Accounting Division
