Please don’t forget that you can only get the first stamp/signature Tuesday to Thursday. And the last approval only exactly 7 days after each full moon. But only if that day is not a weekend or public holiday. Otherwise you have to wait for the next moon phase.

the best part is we *spent* $400,000 on administrative costs each year to prevent $1,200 in accidental expenditures or {gasp} fraud. So, job well done.

Lollllllll we had a similar thing where we spent 3.5X for an audit than the actual spending issue.

We're about to spend $400k on an audit this year (as part of our being bought by the LSU system)... so, yuuuup.

In fairness we are in Louisiana so the odds are there is probably someone embezzling $400k somewhere. Might be the auditor though, you never know
