1.0 OVERVIEW

This manual has been compiled to provide instructions for the issuance and use of the procurement card along with instructions for reconciliation and review of card transactions.

1.1 What is a Purchasing Card?

The College of Coastal Georgia (hereafter referred to as CCGA or College) Procurement Card (hereafter referred to as the P-Card) is a valuable tool for quickly and efficiently purchasing and paying for small dollar items without sacrificing control or cost. The card may be used to purchase goods and some services with restrictions under $4,999 per transaction (special approval is required for more than $4999), including shipping, handling charges, insurance, etc. Cards can be used in person, over the phone, fax, via the internet, or by mail. The P-Card can only be used for College related business for which institutional funds will be disbursed.

1.2 Who can get a P-Card?

A P-Card may be issued only to permanent, part-time or full-time, CCGA employees whose job duties require the use of a P-Card. Cards are issued only to individual employees not to departments or divisions. No more than one (1) card may be issued to an employee. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 50-5-83 both a criminal background check and credit check are required on employees hired for positions which require use of a P-Card. Procedures that indicate acceptance or denial of the employee’s request for a p-card is based on predefined criteria furnished to Human Resources. There is an established Human Resources escalation path for denials which provide potential cardholders an opportunity to dispute inaccurate data found on the report. Both checks will be completed and approval provided by Human Resources prior to issuance of the initial p-card and renewals.

1.3 How do I get a P-Card?

Contact the P-Card Administrator for instructions on requesting a P-Card. You will be provided the P-Card Profile Request/Change Form (Appendix A-Form #CCGA-PCPRCF) , the P-Card Ethical Behavior Agreement (Appendix A-Form #CCGA-PCEBA), and the Authorization for Purchasing Card Background Checks (Appendix A-Form #SPD-PC010) for completion.

Note: No Cardholder shall be allowed to be his or her own “approving official”. The Department Head must assign a knowledgeable individual acting in a supervisory capacity as the Approving Official. If the cardholder is the only employee of a particular department, the Department Head or next level of authority must be assigned as the Approving official. Note: Signature authority for the P-Card approval process may not be delegated.

Page 8: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

Upon completion, return both forms to the P-Card administrator. Human Resources will then be notified that criminal and credit background checks are needed. Human Resources will notify the prospective card holder if a release needs to be signed by the employee. Once approval is received from Human Resources that the prospective cardholder has been approved for a card, the P-Card administrator will request the new P-Card from Bank of America and set up a training session for the new P-Card holder and their Supervisor and/or Approving Official. Training is mandatory for all P-Card roles: including Cardholder, Supervisors, and/or Approving Official. Once the training is complete purchasing will notify the employee when the card can be picked up. Purchasing will provide the P-Card Employee Agreement Form (Appendix A-Form #CCGA-PCEA) for signature upon receipt of the new card. By signing this form the Cardholder acknowledges:

1. Receipt and understanding of the regulations for use and protection of the card2. Understanding of responsibilities for handling billing disputes and reconciling statements3. Understanding and acceptance of consequences of P-Card violations

1.4 How to update a card profile or cancel a card? When there is a need to update the cardholder profile, the P-Card Profile Request/ Change Form (#CCGA-PCPRCF) must be completed and signed by the cardholder, supervisor, and department head before submitting to the P-Card Administrator. A copy of this form is attached to this document. Changes to the cardholder profile include address changes, name changes, etc.

Card Cancellation Procedures:The supervisor/approving official must notify the P-Card Administrator when an employee with a p-card is terminated, resigns, or transfers to another department and must collect the p-card from the employee and submit it to the P-Card Administrator for destruction of the card.

5.2 Unallowable P-Card Practices

A. Splitting OrdersSplitting orders/transactions with the College P-Card is prohibited. Ensure that individual transaction limits are never exceeded. Transaction splitting is the practice of committing multiple P-Card transactions to circumvent the Cardholder’s one-time transaction limit, bypass College competitive bidding requirements, or avoid the card’s monthly card limit.

B. Limitations on Vendors That Can Be UsedCardholders must not make P-Card purchases from friends or relatives where the Cardholder has a financial interest. Additionally, the Cardholder must not accept any gift or gratuity from any source when it is offered, or appears to be offered, to influence your decision in making a P-Card purchase. The use of coupons, rebates, or rewards programs from vendors, banks, or other institutions that offer free/promotional items for the benefit of the Cardholder are not allowed when purchasing items with the P-Card. Any items received as a direct result of using the P-Card must be for the benefit of the College and are expected to remain on College premises. C. P-Card SharingOnly that person named on the P-Card is the authorized user. P-Card sharing is prohibited and can result in immediate termination of the P-Card and all P-Card privileges. P-Card sharing is the practice of allowing an individual other than the cardholder whose name appears on the front of the P-Card to have access to the P-Card or P-Card number to initiate or complete a transaction. P-Card sharing increases the risk of fraud and cardholder liability.Best practices to prevent fraud and misuse include NOT allowing an individual other than the Cardholder to:

• have physical possession of the P-Card to make payments to point of sale vendors;• have access to the P-Card number and expiration date to make payments via telephone, internet, or in person;• have access to receipts or invoices that display the complete P-Card number and expiration date.

D. Using the P-Card for Personal UseThe use of the P-Card for personal expenditures is strictly prohibited.Cardholders who violate this rule must immediately report the personal use and reimburse the funds. The College is required to report the misuse, regardless of the cardholder’s intent to reimburse the College, to the Board of Regents who will then forward the information to the Attorney General’s office. An example would be when a cardholder includes a personal purchase with a departmental order to take advantage of free shipping or pricing discounts.All personal use (intentional or unintentional) of the P-Card must be handled by the cardholder as follows:

o Immediately report the purchase to the Approving Official and the P-Card Administrator

Page 21: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

o Attach a memo explaining the circumstance of what happened (including a timeline of the incident) and include a copy of the receipt and/or other supporting documentation.o Attach a check payable to College of Coastal Georgia o Submit the memo and check to the P-Card Administrator

E. Exceeding the Single Transaction LimitThe p-cards have a Single Transaction Limit of $4999. Cardholders are not allowed to exceed this limit.

6.0 HOW TO MAKE PURCHASES WITH YOUR P-CARD

Only the individual to whom the card has been issued may use the card. When purchasing an item, the following procedures should be followed:

6.1 Approval Procedure

P-card purchases require 2 pre-approvals prior to purchase. This can be accomplished by completion of the P-Card Pre-Approval Purchase Form or other pre-approval procedure that has been cleared with the P-Card Administrator. If unsure about the allowance of your p-card purchase, please contact one of the P-Card Administrators before making the purchase. Cardholders must notify the P-Card Administrators if they are being directed by their supervisor to execute or approve unallowable transactions. All reports will be handled without retribution.

6.2 Provide Vendor with Request/Required Card Information

Be prepared to provide the vendor with any or all of the following information:Card number, name, expiration date, billing address (as listed on the monthly billing statement), and the three digit credit card security/verification code that is located in the signature block of the card. The vendor should provide the complete total price including all delivery and special handling charges. This total is what should be billed to your P-Card.

6.3 Tax Exempt Status

Inform the vendor that the College is exempt from sales tax. If the vendor requests a tax exemption certificate, one may be obtained by emailing [email protected].

6.4 Shipping Instructions

All items must be shipped to a CCGA campus; no shipping to home addresses. Provide the merchant detailed shipping instructions which should include the cardholders name and department on the shipping label.

Orders placed by purchasing staff will usually be shipped to one of the two addresses below:Central ReceivingCollege of Coastal GeorgiaOne College Drive

Page 22: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

Brunswick, GA 31520 Camden Center College of Coastal Georgia 8001 Lakes Blvd. Kingsland, GA 31548

For orders placed by cardholders other than purchasing staff, the cardholder is responsible for notifying Central Receiving of the pending order by sending an e-mail to Julian (Ed) Curry, [email protected] . The e-mail should include the vendor name, listing of items with product numbers, quantities of items, person placing order, and where the order is to be delivered (building and room #). Ultimately, receiving of p-card orders for those cardholders other than purchasing staff is verified via signature of the cardholder and approving official on the monthly p-card statement. Receiving verification is the responsibility of the cardholder and approving official.

6.5 Processing Transactions in WORKS – Cardholder Instructions

As P-Card transactions occur, the Cardholder must verify all purchases and credits on the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch WORKS website: https://payment2.WORKS.com/WORKS/home.

Once the cardholder receives p-card training, signs appropriate document acknowledging receipt of their p-card, the P-Card administrator sends a welcome email through WORKS to the new cardholder. This email provides the new cardholders with their user name and link for establishing a WORKS password.

Once logged into WORKS, the Home page will appear as follows Home, Action Items, Sign Off, Click on Pending under Current Status. A listing of transactions requiring action by the cardholder will appear. Please note that only 10 transactions are visible on the screen at a time unless you use the drop down box and select a larger number. Transactions appear at least daily in the cardholder transaction list. Automatic emails are sent from WORKS to the cardholder notifying that transactions require action by the cardholders. Cardholders must code and sign off on their transactions for the prior month cycle before the 5th of the next month.

Under the document column, click on the TXNXXXXXXXX, then Allocate/Edit. Note that some fields are pre-populated (i.e. Amount and Description), do not delete any of this information in the pre-populated fields. Tab over to the following fields and enter the appropriate data for this particular transaction:

GL01: ACCOUNT – Enter the appropriate account number (i.e. 714100 – Supplies; 715100 – Repairs and Maintenance,,,).

Page | 22

Page 23: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

GL02: FUND – Enter the appropriate fund number (i.e. 10500 – Tuition; 16000 – Student Technology Funds,,,)

GL03: DEPARTMENT – Enter the appropriate department number (XXXXXXX).

GL04: PROGRAM – Enter the appropriate program number (XXXXX).

GL05: CLASS – Enter the appropriate class number (XXXXX).

GL06: PROJECT – For most cardholders, this field should be left blank.

GL07: TAX EXEMPT – This field should be pre-populated with Yes. If this field is blank, insert a “Y” or select “Y” from drop-down list.

GL08: REQD ITEM DESCRIPTION – Enter products or services purchased, limited to 23 characters, so be brief, but descriptive. Do not use generic descriptions like office supplies (specify type of supplies – pens, pencils, paper, markers, etc.).

Scroll down to bottom, right side of page and click “Add Comment”. Use this section to enter the business purpose of the purchase (i.e. food for student orientation cookout at SAC). Auditors need to understand from the required item description and comment section exactly what was purchased and its business purpose (i.e. Hydra Mix for Biol 2215 lab experiment). The more descriptive information provided in WORKS will avoid auditor inquiries later. The purchasing auditors have immediate access to our transactions, but sometimes months following the purchase, will require an explanation of the purchase.Once this required information is entered in WORKS, click SAVE. Once the processing indicator completes (spinning, dotted circle), then click CLOSE. Do not proceed to click Close until the processing indicator completes cycling, otherwise, your information will not be saved in WORKS.

Upon closing this section the Comp/Val/Auth on right should change to 3 green which indicates that transaction/transactions are ready for Sign Off. Transactions can be signed off individually or as a group.

Sign Off by clicking the empty box on left side of the page then click Sign Off box on bottom of page. Once completed, the transaction is forwarded to the Cardholder’s Approver/Supervisor for additional processing.

It is up to the cardholder as to the frequency they complete GL Coding and Sign Off on their transactions. Cardholders must code and sign off on prior month transactions before the 5th of the next month. Upon cardholder sign off transactions are routed to their approver. If transactions are not approved by the cardholder supervisor, cardholder will not be able to complete the monthly reconciliation process. It is to the cardholder’s advantage to process their pending transactions timely as to allow adequate processing time for supervisor approval. P-card reconciliations are due in purchasing no later than the 10th of each month for the prior month’s p-card statement. The p-card cycle for CCGA is the 28th of month through the 27th of the next month (i.e. August 27th statement runs July 28th - August 27th,the August 27

statement is due to Purchasing by September 10th). Generally, the paper statement arrives via US mail by the 3rd of each month.

Each cardholder will receive a copy of the WORKS Quick Reference Guide for Accountholders. Additional resources are available within the WORKS application on the Home page at the bottom. Once the allocation, sign off, and approval processes are completed by the cardholder and supervisor/approver, a transaction report must be printed from WORKS. This transaction report will be the cover sheet for attaching all receipts (originals are required) and the original statement.

To access the reports in WORKS, go to: HOME/REPORTS/TEMPLATE LIBRARY – SHAREDThere is a report saved in this library for every cardholder with the following naming configuration which is cardholder first name initial, cardholder last name, Recon (i.e. Aerial’s report is named A Dickerson Recon). Remember to show more than 10 lines per page if you don’t see your named report at first glance.

Click on your report, choose Modify/Run, scroll down to Filters, and verify Post Date. This post date should correspond to the statement period that you are reconciling. Click on the calendar picture to modify dates if needed then scroll down to Formats (leave Excel box checked, but uncheck PDF). Scroll once again to the bottom right section of the page and click Submit Report. This Excel report provides an easy to read view of the monthly transactions which should balance to your p-card statement for the month.

6.6 Processing Transactions in WORKS – Supervisor/Approver Instructions

Once the cardholder has signed off on their transactions, the approver/supervisor is notified by email that there are transactions in WORKS awaiting their approval. Once logged into WORKS, the Home page will appear as follows Home, Action Items, Sign Off, Click on Pending under Current Status. A listing of transactions requiring action by the Approver will appear. Please note that only 10 transactions are visible on the screen at a time unless you use the drop down box and select a larger number. Transactions appear at least daily in the approver transaction list. Automatic emails are sent from WORKS to the approver notifying that transactions require their action.

Approvers Sign Off by clicking the empty box on left side of the page, click the Sign Off box on the bottom of the page then OK.

Each approver will receive a copy of the WORKS Quick Reference Guide for Approvers. Additional resources are available within the WORKS application on the Home page at the bottom.

Page 25: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

7.0 RESOLVING DISPUTES

The Cardholder is responsible for resolving disputes with the vendor such as incorrect pricing, delivery problems, incorrect items received, damaged items, sales tax credits, etc. Most disputes can be resolved by calling the vendor and having them issue a credit back to the P-Card account. Never accept cash, store credits, or gift cards in lieu of a credit to the P-Card account. If the vendor fails to promptly credit your account, file a dispute with Bank of America (Appendix A-Form #CCGA-PCDF). Do not dispute on line through WORKS Payment Manager.

8.0 RECONCILIATION OF BILLING STATEMENTS

As mentioned earlier, the cardholder must complete a monthly reconciliation of the billing statement to the receipts/ invoices, and P-Card Recon. The P-Card Recon is available in WORKS Payment Manager, under Reports, Template Library, and Shared. There is a saved template for each cardholder which will be run for the billing cycle with an output format to Excel. The P-Card statement closes on the 27th day of the month and usually arrives via mail on the 3rd of the next month. All transactions for the prior month statement must be coded and signed off by the cardholder no later than the 5th of the following month. The actual hard copy of the reconciliation with statement, transaction listing, and receipts are due to purchasing no later than the 10th.

The following steps must be completed when performing the monthly reconciliation process: Cardholder responsibility: Compile the monthly reconciliation package. This “package”, which consists of all original documentation, including receipts, credits, p card recon/transaction log, records of disputed transactions and other supporting

Page | 25

Page 26: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

documentation must be reconciled and attached to the p card recon/transaction log and monthly billing statement issued by the bank. The monthly billing statement requires both the signature of the cardholder and the approving official which signifies that the charges are for legitimate business purposes, required documentation is attached, and that all orders have been received by CCGA. Upon completion of the package by the cardholder, the reconciliation package should be forwarded to the Supervisor and/or Approving Official for review and authorization signature. Cardholder must e-mail a copy of the reconciled Excel p-card recon/transactions log to [email protected] upon completion.

Supervisor/Department Head/Approving Officials: The approving official must review the cardholder’s reconciliation package to ensure compliance with P-Card Policy. The approving official must verify all the supporting documentation is appropriate, purchases were for legitimate business purposes, and that all orders have been received by CCGA. This review must be evidenced by approving officials’ signature on the Bank of America statement. The reconciliation package should then be forwarded to the P-Card Administrator.

P-card Administrator: Once the electronic copy of the Excel worksheet is received from cardholder, the p-card administrator will proceed with verifying account information and amounts. An electronic file will then be forwarded to the Business Office so that charges can be allocated to the appropriate budgets and ACH submitted to Bank of America prior to the payment due date. Upon receipt of the approved reconciliation package from the approving official, P-card Administrator will proceed with performing an audit of the statement, transactions, and receipts/invoices. The P-card Administrator will verify sufficient documentation for each transaction as well as compliance with p-card policy. P-card Administrator will request any needed documentation from the cardholder prior to initialing and dating the reconciliation/transaction log. The initials and date signify that the reconciliation package has been audited and approved. These audits will be done on a monthly basis for each cardholder.

Cardholders are required to personally reimburse the College for any purchase not appropriately documented. Per BOR BPM, Approving Officials may also be required to reimburse the College if the Approving Official approved an undocumented purchase.

9.0 Training:

P-Card “refresher” training will be required every year; may be more often due to policy or procedure change. The Cardholders, Supervisors and/or Approving Officials are required to complete this refresher training in order to maintain P-Card privileges. Failure to complete training within thirty (30) days of notice will result in suspension of P-Card privileges until such time as the training has been successfully completed. Refresher training is provided by the Purchasing Department in the form of an updated manual, on-line and/or classroom training

10.0 AUDITS/REVIEWS:

Audits will be conducted by the parties as noted below:

10.1 Supervisor/Department Head/Approving Officials:

Supervisor/Department Head/Approving Officials are required to audit the p-card transactions, p-card statement, and invoices each month as they approve.

Page 28: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

performs a monthly audit of the statement, transactions, and receipts/invoices of all cardholders. The P-card Administrator will verify sufficient documentation for each transaction as well as compliance with p-card policy. P-card Administrator will request any needed documentation from the cardholder prior to initialing and dating the transaction log. The initials and date signify that the reconciliation package has been audited and approved by the P-card Administrator.

C.Annual Audit - At least annually, the P-card Administrator conducts a review of these p-card areas: * Reviews and updates CCGA P-card Manual as needed. * Reviews p-card activity for all cardholders to ensure cards are active and/or still needed by the cardholder. If cards are inactive for over 6 months (CCGA Dormancy Period), P-card Administrator will inquire with cardholder and approving official regarding actual need for the card. * Reviews p-card spending activity and spending limits using tools to ensure appropriate limits on individual cards and the entire program.

10.3 State Agencies of Authority:

Audit reviews of p-card programs will be conducted as deemed necessary by DOAS StatePurchasing to ensure compliance with all P-Card Policies and Procedures. Also, the Board of Regents auditors and the State Audits and Accounts auditors will include p-card review as provided in their standards.

11.0 RECORDS RETENTION:

Purchasing retains original p-card reconciliations and supporting documentation including transaction logs, statements, receipts/invoices, and any other supporting documents for all College cardholders for a period of 3 years. The current year and previous 2 years will be held and easily accessible in Purchasing.

After the 3rd year, all these original documents will be transferred to the records retention room on Campus. These files will be retained in records retention for an additional 2 years. For a period of 5 years, all original p-card documents will be retained on Campus.

12.0 EXCEPTIONS:

Any exception request to P-Card Policies and Procedures (i.e. cycle limit) must be submitted in writing to the CUPO/P-Card Administrator for consideration. CUPO/P-Card Administrator will respond whether or not an exception is even possible and the requirements for submitting such an exception request.

13.0 VIOLATIONS, FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSEPage | 28

Page 29: COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA PROCUREMENT … › ... › files › CCGA_PROCUREMEN… · Web viewBefore placing an order with an online merchant, make sure the site is secure before

13.1 Violations and Written Notices

Violations of rules governing the use of P-Cards can be the result of noncompliance with policy or procedure or can be as severe as misuse which could result in disciplinary actions up to and including employment termination and civil and criminal charges. Chart 1 in Appendix A outlines descriptions of misuse and non-compliance, the specific violation of law or policy, and the resulting maximum consequences. See Chart 2 in Appendix A for examples of non-compliance.

In the case of intentional fraud by the cardholder, Bank of America will provide corporate liability protection under Visa’s Liability Protection Coverage; however, certain conditions apply. The principal condition is that the employee has been terminated and Bank of America is notified of the termination within TWO (2) DAYS of its occurrence.

All Cardholders, Approving Officials, and employees involved in the administration of the College’s P-Card program should be familiar with Georgia House Bill 1113 which outlines specific requirements of P-Card programs and civil and criminal penalties for misuse: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2007_08/fulltext/hb1113.htm

Chart 1 in Appendix A indicates the incidences that will be reported to the Board of Regents who will then forward the information to the State Attorney General’s office. The decision whether to prosecute a case rests with the State Attorney General’s Office.

13.2 Detection and Prevention of Fraud

The College is responsible for ensuring that the institution’s assets are safeguarded from fraud, waste, and abuse. The State of Georgia and the College will seek restitution for any inappropriate charges made to the P-Card. Fraudulent or intentional misuse of the card will result in revocation of the card and/or possible criminal charges, including termination. Georgia House Bill 1113 [Section 2, Subsection c] states:

Any employee of the College who knowingly:(1) uses a purchasing card for personal gain;(2) Purchases items on such purchasing card that are not authorized for purchase by such employee;(3) Purchases items in violation of this Code section; or(4) Retains for such employee´s personal use a rebate or refund from a vendor, bank, or other financial institution for a purchase or the use of a purchasing card
