The Purchasing Card (PCard) policy has undergone revisions to update non-substantive issues, as well as the following substantive changes.
- Creates a new category of PCard user, who are granted additional privileges, including: increased spending limits and permissions to use a PCard on select regularly excluded items. PCard Super User status is granted to a small subset of PCard users and attaining this status requires a legitimate business need and additional training.
- Changes to reconciliation timeline.
The timeline in which to reconcile PCard purchases has been solidified, changing from “in a timely manner” to “within 28 days of the transaction.” - Changes to receipt documentation.
- PCard users will now be required to upload receipts into the banking system. It is still required for individuals/departments to maintain a record of all receipts; however, it is no longer required for hard copy receipts to be maintained and stored. Copies of scanned receipts must be stored electronically within departments.
- New language about conflicts of interest and a warning to avoid unintended contractual obligations.
