collection, deposit, disbursement, and cashiering activities.

Services (CGFS), under the direction of the Deputy Chief Financial Officer, is
responsible for establishing the Departments policy regarding cash financial
transactions in accordance with the Treasury Financial Manual and other
pertinent financial regulations.

services for cash-related transactions.
