Could you post my answer to Susan's question (see below) back out to the list-serv? +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Suzanne McNatt, CPA, CFE Senior Financial Coordinator Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service Oklahoma State University ph. 405.744.9697 Fax 405.744.8863 Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> From: McNatt, Suzanne [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 1:09 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: FW: Travel regulations for county agents/educators Susan, In Oklahoma most all of the travel of our county agents is paid directly by their County. We do require the county-paid travel claims to abide by our university's P&P, unless the County's is more restrictive (for example, some of the Counties only reimburse actual meals up to the per diem amount & require receipts, rather than just reimburse the flat per diem rate). The University rules abide by our Office of State Finance regulations for travel and the Counties do/are supposed to too, so we pretty much follow the same set of rules. However, some of the Counties/County Clerks do not seem as informed about all the regulations (can I put that in all caps!?!), and since it is university extension personnel doing the traveling my office audits all of those county-paid travel claims after the fact. Any mistakes, overages, underages are taken care of on subsequent travel claims. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Suzanne McNatt, CPA, CFE Senior Financial Coordinator Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service Oklahoma State University ph. 405.744.9697 Fax 405.744.8863 Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> From: Bonner, Sue Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 8:52 AM To: McNatt, Suzanne Subject: FW: Travel regulations for county agents/educators Can you answer Susan's question?

When agents are traveling on county funds, do you require them to abide by your University's travel regulations? Thanks, Susan
