Policies - Purchase Cards
The purpose of the Purchasing Card Program is to streamline and simplify the requisitioning, purchasing and payment processes for small dollar transactions. The Program is designed to facilitate the approval process and reduce the paperwork of procurement procedures such as purchase orders, petty cash, check requests and expense reimbursements.
Purchasing Services is responsible for adminstration of the Purchase Card Program.
Auditing Services is responsible for conducting audits of purchase card transactions and adherence to purchase card policies. We conduct an audit of each purchase card holder at least annually. These audits involve the review of receipts, card policy compliance and the appropriateness of purchases. Card holders are expected to maintain adequate records and to follow purchase card policies.
Polices regulating the use of Purchase Cards are found in the Purchase Card Manual on the Purchasing Services website.
