FAPM Introduction

I.PURPOSE

The purpose of the Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual (FAPM) is to house the Ohio Administrative Code Rules that outline fiscal policy regarding the administrative functions and requirements of workforce development agencies as defined in ORC 6301.01 and county family services agencies as defined in ORC 307.981. The FAPM is a management tool designed for ODJFS, WIA areas and counties. The FAPM doesnot provide non-fiscal, program-specific information. Such information is located in other ODJFS manuals.

II.FRAMEWORK

The Administrative Code Rules contained in the FAPM have as their base:

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
The Ohio Revised Code (ORC)
Relevant court decisions
Opinions of the Attorney General

III.CONTENT

FAPM policies and procedures are arranged by the following chapters:

Chapter 1 - County Organization and Fiscal Administration
Chapter 2 - RESERVED
Chapter 3 - Workforce Investment Act Administration
Chapter 4 - Acquisition Standards and Guidelines
Chapter 5 - Program Reports, Statistics and Requirements
Chapter 6 - County Funding Sources
Chapter 7 - Fiscal Reimbursement and Reporting
Chapter 8 - Performance Standards, Performance Allocations, and Sanctions

IV.UPDATING FISCAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Fiscal policies and procedures are updated in one of the following ways:

Fiscal Administrative Procedure Manual Transmittal Letters (FAPMTL):

These communicate permanent fiscal policy changes in the form of new, amended or rescinded Administrative Code Rules.

Fiscal Administrative Procedure Letters (FAPL):

These communicate temporary policy information and/or clarify existing policy. FAPLs may be used to relay important information quickly, to be followed by a FAPMTL in the future.

V.REFERENCE SECTIONS WITHIN THE FAPM

Four additional sections exist as references:

(1)An appendix containing all fiscal-related forms and reports.

(2)Archived APMTLs.

(3)Archived APLs.

(4)Glossary of terms.

VI.QUESTIONS REGARDING FAPM CONTENT

The Fiscal Policy Section maintains the FAPM by working with the Office of Fiscal Services and the various program areas. Please contact fiscal supervisors with any questions or concerns regarding FAPM content.
