Management Memos (In Force)
Management memos (MM) are instructions relative to financial topics that cannot be readily incorporated into an existing MOM chapter. In most cases, accounting issues will be incorporated into the related MOM chapters rather than in the management memo format. At the current time, only recent management memos are available on-line from this website (effective date in fiscal 2002 or later). Agencies should contact Department of Administration, State Accounting Bureau at (406) 444-3092 for copies of older management memos. Only management memos currently in force are listed in the index below.
