Which personnel are generally not qualified to be appointed as Certifying Officers?

Disbursing officers
Accountants
Financial analysts
Budget specialists

The correct answer is: Disbursing officers

Disbursing officers are typically involved in the actual distribution of funds and handling financial transactions, which can create a potential conflict of interest when it comes to certifying expenditures. Certifying Officers need to ensure that expenditures are proper, necessary, and comply with all regulations and guidelines, while disbursing officers are involved in executing those transactions. In many organizations, the roles of disbursing officers and Certifying Officers are kept separate to maintain a system of checks and balances. This delineation helps prevent any potential misuse of funds and ensures accountability in financial operations. Other personnel like accountants, financial analysts, and budget specialists are more likely to have the analytical and regulatory background that supports the careful assessment and certification of expenditures.
