In order to properly schedule payments, a payee must make sure there is an established agency relationship, a payment is properly certified, there is a clear understanding of the nessesary payment type, and how to manage payments in the event they are outside of Treasury or foreign.

Fiscal Service provides multiple services and guidance on the different payment methods federal entities can utilize to schedule and carry out payments. Some examples of payment mechanisms include Stored Value Cards (SVCs), Government Purchase Cards, and Treasury Checks.

Current guidance on paper deposit transactions include the requirements for using depositaries to hold public money, the Lockbock Network (LBN), and instructions on how to deposit both domestic and foreign checks and cash.

Proper payroll management ensures that payrolls are accurately recorded and reconciled with financial management information.
