The change fund shall not be used for purchases of any kind, cashing checks, or making temporary loans. No other funds shall be commingled with the change fund. 5. At least one Alternate Custodian shall be designated. 6. Any deviation from the above policies requires the written approval of the Treasury Office. 7. Security/Internal Controls a.
