Procurement Cards: Overcoming Risk to Create an Effective Program

September 10

Mitigate risk and assess the fraud potential of payment cards with a complete look at strategy, policy, and procedures.

Most organizations recognize that many check payments made for low-value items to a large number of suppliers is a costly and inefficient process. The transactional, or processing cost, of using a traditional procure-to-pay process, often requiring a requisition, purchase order, invoice, and check payment, is costly and inefficient. Many times, the cost to process small dollar purchases can exceed the value of the item being purchased. To create a more efficient process, many organizations have switched from these traditional methods to a purchasing card system and have seen savings ranging from 55% to 80% in processing costs. Purchasing Cards provide a means for streamlining the procure-to-pay process, allowing organizations to procure goods in a timely manner, reduce transaction costs, track expenses, take advantage of supplier discounts, reduce or eliminate petty cash payments, and gain general overall resource efficiencies. A Purchasing Card (P-Card) is a type of commercial card that allows organizations to take advantage of the existing credit card infrastructure to make electronic payments for a variety of business expenses. A successful Purchasing Card Program starts with thorough planning long before the program is implemented. This topic will provide you with vital information to illustrate the anticipated savings, risk and mitigating controls, and resources needed to make the busi-ness case for initiating or growing a viable Purchasing Card Program.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to define how Purchasing Cards work and how to align your Purchasing Card Program with company strategies.
  • You will be able to describe the methods that can be used to mitigate risk associated with implementing an effective P-Card Program including auditing and reconciliation best practices.
  • You will be able to discuss how to develop, manage and grow a viable P-Card Program.
  • You will be able to explain the benefits of using a P-Card Process.
