DRAFT – Washington Administrative & Accounting Manual (WAAM)
The Washington Administrative and Accounting Manual (WAAM) will replace the State Administrative and Accounting Manual (SAAM) at Workday go-live.
Statewide Accounting is currently drafting WAAM. This page will be updated periodically with draft chapters as they are completed. The draft chapters will change as we continue to receive feedback and review internally.
The following chapters are available for review.

Questions and feedback on the content are welcomed and appreciated as we continue to modify the policies and procedures. Submit questions and feedback to kennesy.cavanah@ofm.wa.gov. Note, Statewide Accounting is still reviewing the chapters for spelling and grammar.
We are also in the process of developing a SAAM to WAAM crosswalk. This crosswalk will continue to be updated to ensure all sections in SAAM are cross walked to WAAM or, if not cross walked, an explanation will be provided. The crosswalk for the WAAM sections listed above is located here: DRAFT SAAM to WAAM crosswalk (10.14.2024)
