1 GUILFORD COUNTY PROCUREMENT CARD PROGRAM POLICY AND PROCEDURES GENERAL INFORMATION - PURPOSE The purpose of the Procurement Card Program is to simplify and expedite the payment process for purchases of low dollar threshold goods and/or services.

One payment is made to Bank of America for the total dollar amount of the Guilford County card purchases within an established billing cycle typically 25 days. The cardholder also acquires an efficient and effective method for the procurement and payment of small dollar items. The process of the Procurement Card Program provides the cardholder with a valuable tool to purchase and pay for routine, non-restricted, low dollar purchases from an approved supplier who initiates the charge that goes to the bank. Transactions are captivated in the Works Program. Cardholders, Liaisons, and Department Directors are responsible for reviewing the receipts and approving the transactions.

PROCUREMENT CARD PROCEDURES Purpose of Procurement Card This program is being established to allow designated Guilford County employees to make small dollar threshold purchases of goods and/or services more easily while simultaneously reducing paperwork and handling costs associated with these purchases. A Procurement Card will be issued to an employee when management determines the department can benefit from the employee becoming a Cardholder. The Procurement Card gives the Cardholder the authority to make legitimate business purchases of goods or services on behalf of the department. Under no circumstances will the Card be used for personal purchases. Cardholders must follow normal budgetary control procedures to ensure that sufficient funds are available prior to making any purchase, and use of the Procurement Cards does not relieve the cardholder from complying with Federal, State and County regulations, policies, and procedures.

DRAFT
6 IV. PROCUREMENT CARD USE The Departments may set up any internal process of checks and balances in addition to the items listed in these procedures, provided the process has been reviewed and approved by the Purchasing Director/Procurement Card Administrator. Purchasing procedures permit a purchase of products or services if their value is within the limits set for the cardholder; and, are made from an approved vendor. However, the current Guilford County Purchasing Manual is to seek competition and proceed with the lowest prices within the parameters of quality and delivery for any commodity and/or service. Please contact the Purchasing Department if you have questions about a particular commodity, service or vendor. Please remember the card is a privilege not a right and the same Purchasing Policies and rules apply to the Purchasing Card. Use of the Card: The Cardholder is the only individual authorized to make purchases using the Procurement Card. Procurement Cards will not be transferable between individuals. Each Cardholder will be assigned a card with his/her name embossed on the face of the card. The Procurement Card does not supersede any established State or County Purchasing and Contract rules. The Purchasing Department may assist, if needed, with local Contract Items. When a purchase is made over the counter, the Cardholder must obtain an itemized receipt. The Cardholder is responsible for ensuring that the vendor lists the quantity and fully describes the item(s) being purchased. If item numbers are used and there is no description, the employee should write in the type of item purchased on the receipt. Cardholders will make purchases (using established Departmental guidelines and Guilford County s existing policies). Purchases that are phoned in must have an itemized detail receipt included with the items being shipped. A Packing List (without charges) will not suffice. Please request the vendor to provide you with an itemized invoice. To acquire goods over the Internet, the cardholder must obtain an electronic confirmation from the vendor and print the screen. This must be submitted to the Department Director/Manager and Department Liaison along with the packing slip/receipt (if available) for processing. It is the responsibility of the card holder to confirm that the online purchase is being completed on a safe and secure site. If using the Procurement Card for Catering, this maybe an authorized use but only when the Food Authorization Policy has been followed. Failure to obtain purchasing receipts as detailed above will result in the Cardholder being held responsible for the entire payment of the undocumented purchase. DRAFT
7 Cardholder Reconciliation Procedures The Cardholder must retain the original itemized receipt for each purchase made with their procurement card. Each Cardholder will receive from the Bank a monthly statement of the account, of any charges that were made against their Procurement Card (P-Card). The Cardholder shall check each transaction listed on the monthly statement against the original receipt copies to verify the monthly statement charges, sign and date the statement and then forward the statement to the Department Director/Manager and Liaison. There shall be no undocumented transactions and all transactions must have itemized receipts. The Cardholder must submit the statement to their approving Department Director/Manager and/or Department Liaison within two (2) business days of receipt of the billing statement. The Department Director/Manager and Department Liaison shall approve the statement with signature and date. After the transaction(s) have posted to the Works Procurement System, the Department Liaison/GL Coder and approver will have ten (10) business days to have the transaction GL coded and approved. After reconciliation, the Department Liaison will send statements to Finance for retention as required for record keeping by NC Department of Cultural Resources. If a receipt is lost, the Cardholder must obtain a copy from the vendor. If the receipt cannot be obtained from the vendor, then the Cardholder will be personally responsible for the payment of an undocumented charge. Reconciliation Procedures for Returns/Problems If the item(s) purchased are unacceptable, damaged and/or defective, the Cardholder shall work with the vendor to correct the problem as soon as the Cardholder is aware of the problem. Vendors will issue all credits to the individual Procurement Card account for any item(s) they have agreed to accept for return. This credit will appear on a subsequent statement. Under no circumstances should a Cardholder accept cash in lieu of a credit to the Procurement Card account. All vendors will be required to apply all credits back to the Procurement Card without the option for cash credits. If an item or items have been returned for credit, the Cardholder shall obtain an itemized receipt and verify that the credit is reflected on the statement. When the Cardholder receives a credit, the receipt should be signed, dated and forwarded to the Department Director/Manager and/or Department Liaison within two (2) business days. The credit receipt should be signed, dated and held by the Department Director/Manager and Department Liaison, then attached to the billing statement. Each statement that is reconciled at the end of the month should be processed as follows: 1. Signed by Cardholder (somewhere visible) 2. Have corresponding receipts stapled to statement 3. Have designated person put all statement from department into an envelope 4. Label envelope: From- Department To: Finance Department Accounts Payable, Month and Date 5.

If it is determined that this policy is not followed, the Cardholder shall have the Procurement Card withdrawn and may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination. The Cardholder shall return the Procurement Card to their Department Director/Manager prior to leaving employment with the Department/Guilford County.

The Purchasing Director/Procurement Card Administrator may cancel a Procurement Card any time the Department Director/Manager and County deems necessary.

The Purchasing Department Director/Procurement Card Administrator will maintain all other documentation concerning the program to include, Enrollment Request Forms, Employee User Agreements, Maintenance Request Forms, billing statements, and copies of transmittals and correspondence with Bank of America.
