Procedures for Accounts Payable are based on federal laws, filing requirements for the IRS, and American University policy. The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that all WCL funds are disbursed and recorded in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. All faculty and staff members are expected to comply with procedures.

The Accounts Payable Department handles all activities associated with payment for purchases and issuance of all non-payroll checks. Accounts Payable generates checks for:

Prepayment of conference fees, membership dues, and subscriptions
Purchase Orders
Cash advances
Contracting for services
Personal reimbursements (checks over $100)

Professional Services Agreement Contracts

Payments to individuals for services require a social security number, a permanent address, and a current ratified Professional Services Agreement form. Contractual services are processed on a Disbursement Request form.

Tax Exempt Certificates

The Tax Exempt Certificate is used to purchase tangible property without paying sales and use tax.
