Substantive changes have been made to the Texas Comptroller Manual of Accounts (FPP Q.009), reflecting legislation passed by the 89th Legislature, Regular Session, and effective before Sept. 1.
The Manual of Accounts provides current information on state agencies, appropriated funds, and accounts and object codes to use when properly recording accounting transactions.
Agencies must continue to guard against direct deposit fraud. The Comptroller’s office lists Fraud Prevention Recommendations on TexPayment Resource.
Agencies can also:
- Encrypt or password-protect internal and external emails that include account and routing numbers.
- Require the existing account and routing numbers on file for change requests before making those changes to ensure the requests are from legitimate payees.
- Use daily direct deposit reports to verify your agency’s direct deposit setups and changes.
Contact Payment Services with questions about direct deposits.
