8422.112     TELEGRAPH INVOICES 
(Renumbered from 8422.113 12/89)

Telegraph companies support their invoices by including either (1) one copy of each telegram or (2) a detail of charges.  The copies of the telegrams and/or detail of charges will be retained by the agency together with the agency's copy of the invoice in the file copy of the claim.  The State Controller's Office will request review of the supporting detail in any instance where it believes that such verification is necessary.
For telegraph companies that do not include a copy of the telegrams with the invoices, agencies may make a specific request to obtain a copy at the time of placing the telegram.  A service charge is assessed for each such request.  Also, in order for an agency's detail of charges to show the sender's (requester's, authorizer's) name or initials, agencies will have to include such information within the first ten characters of the telegram signature block at the time of placing the telegram.
