EXPENDITURE SUPPORT - 6750

The Department of Finance (Finance) reviews and makes recommendations regarding funding and/or expenditure requests associated with proposed information technology (IT) expenditures through the budgetary process. In addition to business and fiscal factors, considerations to determine whether proposed IT expenditures are supportable include compliance with SAM. Contact your departmental budget analyst or your Finance Budget Analyst for information concerning the various budget request documents available, their intended purpose, and the appropriate use of each. Funding requests associated with IT projects require California Department of Technology approval of a Feasibility Study Report, Special Project Report, or equivalent document.

Finance, at its discretion, may impose expectations and/or conditions for approving a department's proposed IT expenditures when such expectations and/or conditions are in the best interest of the State. Departments will be notified of any such expectations and/or conditions Finance may impose on a department's IT expenditures.
