DATE: XX/XX/XXXXIllegal Purchase Notification • February 8th, 2022 • Wisconsin
It has come to my attention that your department started work on the above mentioned project with the contractor without obtaining prior approval, and before an agreement was created. Agreements have to be made before the work has started according to state statutes 16.52(6), 16.72(4)(a), 16.77. For purchasing related contracts, the Board of Regents has designated Agent as the signatory on their behalf. If work is performed as a result of an agreement signed by an unauthorized employee, or as a result of a verbal arrangement, the University and employee are exposed to multiple risks.
