				control device, funding sources exercise control by stipulating the purpose for
				which resources may be used. The college assumes a stewardship role to assure
				that all funds are utilized in accordance with the wishes of the funding
				source. The accounting system must provide this information and also provide
				management with the necessary decision making tools to maximize the resources
				available to the college.
