Administrative Services Division (ASD) oversees Budget, Financial Management, and Procurement for the Gaming Control Board. The Budget area is responsible for the annual preparation of the agency budget request to be submitted to the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) and the Legislative Finance Committee (LFC). The approved annual operating budget is also overseen by the Budget area, which includes personal services/employee benefits, contractual services, and other costs. During the course of the fiscal year, each agency division submits their requests to the Budget Administrator who in turn approves or rejects the requests for purchase. Budget also prepares the monthly reconciliation with the assistance from the Financial Management area. The Financial Management area is responsible for, but is not limited to the following: accounts receivable, accounts payable, fixed asset inventory, and auditing of miscellaneous cash funds. Our accounts receivable mainly consist of licensing fees, investigative and audit fees, and fines. These fees are received from our licensed operators or applicants wishing to be licensed. The Finance area provides daily customer service to the agency by providing guidance for travel reimbursement, supply requests, and much more. The Budget and Finance area work closely together to ensure consistency in the daily operations of ASD. In addition to acting as custodian of budget and financial management, ASD oversees the annual agency audit, all agency procurement, and agency contractual obligations.
