Purchasing

Among the many services provided by SDSU Research Foundation is assistance in the purchasing of goods and services.  To ensure that all purchasing activity is in compliance with federal, state, and local government laws, rules, and regulations, a Manual of Accounting Policies and Procedures has been developed.  The chief financial officer has approved this manual, and copies have been distributed to persons responsible for documenting expenditures of SDSU Research Foundation funds.
