- A. The Comptroller shall promulgate, update, and amend internal policy guidelines to supplement the regulations issued pursuant to this title.
- B. When not acting in the capacity as a member of the Board, the Comptroller's principal responsibility under this title is for the prompt and expeditious payment of valid invoices from contracts approved and submitted by State agencies. The Comptroller's General Accounting Division will document and notify in writing the concerned State agency and the appropriate promulgating authorities of this regulation when the agency has delayed payments. A “delayed payment” condition exists when the date of an individual request for payment received by the General Accounting Division is greater than 25 days from the date the proper invoice is received or the date the services, supplies, maintenance, construction, construction-related, architectural, or engineering services are received and accepted, whichever is later. In this event, the individual request will be considered delayed unless the invoice is a disputed invoice under Regulation .02C.
