Program’s voucher processing unit audits the voucher to make sure that the charges are allowable and they make any and all modifications to the voucher as necessary, voucher processing staff discuss any and all changes with the program contract manager. To minimize mistakes we have taken the following steps: - When processing vouchers from multiple programs, vouchers are segregated by program, which minimizes the switching back and forth between programs and coding particulars; - Specific coding is handled differently and maintained in different locations to avoid errors and inadvertent mix ups; and, - Program Managers now write coding on each voucher before transmitting to the BCM, this is duplicative but it helps to minimize coding errors.
