                       for those incidental payments made from the petty cash fund.  The PM or designee assigned by
                       the PM are fully responsible to track and maintain the petty cash. A template Petty Cash Log for
                       tracking the petty cash fund is located in the Vysnova Standard PgM Docs ShareSync folder, see
                       Annex E.
                       Authorized Signatures
                       All project office payments or cash disbursements should be authorized and signed by the PM or
                       his/her  authorized  delegate.  Authorized  staff  members  must  have  signature  authority.  Any
                       payment above $20,000 must have COO or CEO signed approval. Refer to Annex B for the Vysnova
                       Approval Matrix.

                       Project Status Reports
                       Every month the F&A will review the PSR to ensure it is complete and up-to-date then present it
                       to the PM and go over any issues to prepare the PM to present the PSR on the third Thursday of
                       the month to the COO and Controller. The PM should be able to answer any questions regarding
                       missing or misallocated costs and/or revenue amounts/percentages. The PM will receive training
                       on reading PSRs (see Annex F).

                       Billing
                       Each month bills are produced per the contact and data sheet instructions through Costpoint.  The
                       Sr. Accountant prepares all Fix Price bills the first of each month and after timesheets are posted
                       then the Time and Material invoices are produced. Once Accounts Payable closes on the tenth of
                       the month, the CPFF invoices are completed.

                       It  is  the  PM’s  responsibility  to  work  with  the  assigned  F&A  to  ensure  all  invoices  from
                       subcontractors and consultants as well as vendor invoices and employee expense reports are
                       submitted to Accounts Payable by the tenth of each month so the invoice can be created on time.
                       If needed, Consultant and Subcontractor Invoice Templates are available in Vysnova Standard PgM
                       Docs ShareSync folder, see Annex E.
                       The goal is to have all invoices approved by the PM and to the client by the fifteen of every month.
                       The PM is responsible for reviewing the invoice as well as the F&A on the Project.  The first invoice
                       usually takes the longest to ensure the invoice has all information needed and submitted. Once
                       the  invoice  has  been  approved  it  is  submitted  unless  it  needs  to  be  submitted  via  the  DOD
                       invoicing platform: Wide-Area Workflow (WAWF).  If the invoice is to be submitted in WAWF then
                       the Sr. Accountant will enter it in WAWF and send a copy to the PM/F&A for its review as well.  It
                       is imperative that the PM is familiar with the contract and the billing instructions to ensure the
                       WAWF codes are accurate on the submission as well as all information on the invoice is accurate
                       such  as  the  setup  of  the  invoice,  Cost,  Fee,  total  contract,  hours  worked  and  cost.    It  is
                       recommended to review the PSR with the invoice to ensure they match as well.

                       Payroll
                       All pay changes must go through the HR department and be fully approved prior to coming to the
                       accounting office.  Pay changes are based on the beginning of a pay period.  Once they are fully
                       approved, they are processed in Costpoint and paid on the next pay date following the effective
                       date.  Payroll is processed ½ a month a in arrears.  This means that that cost/timesheets for the
