What happens when a payment voucher is missing paperwork
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗If a payment voucher for a claim is missing a required certificate or document, the comptroller can still accept it if you prove the accountant didn't intentionally skip it and the amount is a real state debt. Then the comptroller can allow payment.

The statute, as written — Procedure when voucher defective
A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
When an original warrant voucher produced for a claim is defective from the want of any certificate or other document which ought to have accompanied it, the comptroller may, upon proof being made to the comptroller's satisfaction that the public accountant did not wilfully neglect to procure the certificate, or document, and that the sum specified in the warrant voucher has been actually and properly incurred as a state liability, admit the warrant voucher as sufficient evidence of liability, and allow the amount to be paid.
