Purchasing Card Program Manual
The Purchasing Card Program is based on a standard retail charge card program, which has been modified to meet school division procurement objectives. The Purchasing Card Program was designed to enable budget managers to make direct purchases, with monthly payments issued by the Board Office.
The Purchasing Card Program is not intended to avoid or bypass other appropriate procedures. Instead, it is intended to provide flexibility and autonomy to cardholders while complementing current existing purchasing and payment guidelines. Unlike personal charge cards, the Purchasing Card Program incorporates controls over certain types of expenditures. These controls ensure that the Program can be used only with specific types of suppliers and within specific dollar limits.
Cardholders are asked to use the Purchasing Card responsibly and carefully. Although the Purchasing Card and related accounts are issued in an individual's name, the charges incurred are the liability of the school division.
