Cardholder Responsibilities

• Monitor the ProCard web site for any changes to the program's policies and procedures.

• Refer to the ProCard-Card Security/Possession page for details on card security and the process for allowing other employees to utilize the ProCard

• Complete the Monthly Activity Report (MAR) monthly in OnBase by the 25th of the month following the end of the billing cycle.  This process is mandatory.

• OnBase will retain electronically filed receipts and monthly activity report (MAR) for the current fiscal year plus 3 prior years. (Refer to the Controller's Office Retention of Records Policy for the archival period associated with grants and contracts.)

• Verify all transactions on the MAR.  Any charges that need to be disputed must be reported to PNC and the ProCard Office within 60 days of the transaction date.

• Complete the ProCard Receipt Form when no receipt is available. 
  Related information for Missing Receipt: When an original, itemized receipt is lost or otherwise unavailable and all measures to obtain a copy have been exhausted, the ProCard Missing Receipt Form should be completed. It must be signed by the cardholder/responsible party and his/her supervisor. This form should be retained with all other receipts, bank statements, and the monthly MAR. The ProCard Missing Receipt Form should be used on rare occasions and may not be used on a routine basis.  Excessive use of the ProCard Missing Receipt Form may result in the revocation of your ProCard.

• Ensure receipt of materials and services.  Contact the vendor to resolve any delivery problems, discrepancies and damaged goods claims.

Cardholder Verification - Bank Statements and Monthly Activity Report (MAR)
Each cardholder will receive a detailed statement from PNC Bank for each card that had transaction activity during the billing cycle.  (A statement will not be generated for a card with no activity.)  This statement will list the transactions that PNC Bank has transmitted to the University for the month and should match your records. A verification of the PNC statement to actual charges should be performed by the 25th of the following month.  In more detail:

• Throughout the monthly billing cycle, the cardholder must record transaction activity, including the business purpose and receipt, on the onbase form as purchases are made. This includes any item(s) returned and any credits issued.
• Transactions occurring after the 15th of the month will not appear on your statement. These items should be carried forward to the next month.
• Reconcile all monthly ProCard documentation consisting of the PNC bank statement, MAR, and itemized receipts.  This review must be completed by the 25th of the month following the end of the billing cycle.

• Electronically sign and date the Monthly Activity Report (MAR) in OnBase confirming: (1) a reconciliation was performed, and (2) all purchases are legitimate business expenses and the appropriate documentation is on file for each transaction. 

A cardholder's failure to execute his or her responsibilities is a significant violation of policy that can result in revoking authorization to use a ProCard. 

*Please Note: A cardholder can assign a “Proxy”.  This role has the ability to upload receipts/backup documentation and enter in a business purpose in OnBase. The proxy must complete the ProCard Policies/Procedures Test  with a score of 100% before they can be added to a card. The cardholder can be the funding reviewer on their account, but never the approver.
