Introduction
This procedure describes the process of reviewing, approving, and/or denying documents awaiting administrative approval.

8.1 Approve/Deny Transaction Process
Approving Officials will use this procedure to approve or deny transactions. However, an Approving Official may access only documents awaiting his/her approval.
