4/3/2024  CORE 4 goes live!  Please bear with us as will be working to update all Job Aids on our DNR Intranet Accounting sections as soon as possible.  We have waited until the CORE folks had the most up to date job aids until starting to update ours, and that includes the Accounts Payable Accounting Training slides (over 117 slides) that I personally will be updating.  Please do know that CORE 4 has great job aids under "Topics" on the new core.state.co.us website.

4/1/2024  As of today, Denisse Cortez is our Accounts Payable Accountant II; formerly our Accounts Payable Accountant I. Denisse came to us over 18 months ago, with wonderful customer service, intellect and a glowing reference letter from her former government employer of 10 years where she was in accounts payable. I am sure you will enjoy working with her if you have not already!
