Responsibilities and Ensuring Integrity of the PCard Program

The PCard is embossed with a cardholder's name on it and shall only be used by the cardholder.  The cardholder may initiate transactions on behalf of others in his/her department; however, the cardholder is responsible for all use of his/her card.

By paying for ACU expenses on the PCard you are assisting ACU in lowering the number and cost of processing requisitions, purchase orders and invoices.  This savings is significant and your support of this program is invaluable.

This is an actual MasterCard.  Treat your card as if it were cash or your own by carrying it in your possession at all times.

Reviewing expense reporting, and approving spend is the first line of defense to ensure the integrity of the PCard Program and to minimize liability in the case of fraudulent occurrences.

The University has developed the tools to enable departments to meet their goals and designed a process for managing the PCard Program.  The success of the program will depend, ultimately, on the thoughtful implementation of this process as well as the effectiveness of the Cardholders, approving Department Head and Division VP.
