The Comptroller or his designee may waive provisions of the Directives if it is determined that adherence to a provision in a particular circumstance is not feasible or would not be in the City’s best interest. In order to obtain a waiver from any of the provisions in a Directive, a City agency must submit a request in writing using the Application for Waiver from Requirements of the Comptroller’s Internal Control and Accountability Directives Form (see link below). Requests for waivers of more than one Directive must be submitted by using a separate application for each Directive. All waiver requests must:
- Specify the provision(s) in the Directive(s) the Agency seeks to be waived.
- Describe the project, activity, or undertaking involved that gives rise to the request.
- Explain why it is not feasible to comply with the provision that the agency seeks to be waived, and describe and document all past efforts to comply with the provision.
- Demonstrate that it is in the City’s best interest for the Comptroller to waive the applicable provision under the circumstances presented.
- Specify the time period for which the waiver is needed.
- Include a PDF of the form with the signature of the Agency Head or his/her designee.
Requests for waivers that would violate laws, regulations, bond covenants, collective bargaining agreements or similar authorities will not be granted by this office.
The Bureau of Accountancy is currently conducting a comprehensive review and update of all Directives.
