§ 17000 Warrant Payment Fund Designation

Key Takeaways

  • •A warrant (like a check from the government) must say which fund the money comes from.
  • •The person in charge (Controller) has to write this on the warrant.
  • •This makes sure money is taken from the right place.

Example

The government needs to pay a teacher’s salary.

The Controller writes a warrant for the teacher’s pay and must say the money comes from the 'School Fund' so it’s clear where the money is taken from.
