CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER MEMORANDUM NO. 04 (09-10)
SUBJECT: CONTRACT MANAGER TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Section 19 of Chapter 2010-151, Laws of Florida, amends Section 287.057 (14), Florida Statutes,
to require contract managers that are responsible for contractual service contracts in excess of the
threshold of CATEGORY TWO to attend training conducted by the Chief Financial Officer for
accountability in contract and grant management. The purpose of this memorandum is to
identify State Agency responsibilities related to this change and to identify the contract manager
training attendance criteria.
Each State Agency must:
•
Ensure that contract managers meet the training attendance requirement within FY10-11.
However, if the contract manager is responsible for a one year contract that is executed
within the first six months of FY10-11, the manager must receive training within the first
three months of the executed contract.
•
Ensure contract managers attend training at least once every two years (based on the date
of last attendance).
•
Maintain records to adequately support the Agency’s compliance in meeting the contract
manager training attendance requirements.
Note: Contract managers that have attended and received a certificate of completion from DFS’
Advancing Accountability training since January 2009 will have met the initial
attendance requirement.
The statutory changes become effective July1, 2010. The Bureau of Auditing will announce the
training schedule and provide instructions for registration in a future Agency Addressed
Memorandum.
