Your monthly review should include the following:
Monthly review and approval of all cardholder transactions must take place by assigned departmental personnel (preferably a supervisor). Unless otherwise specified, this will be assigned to the supervisor listed on the cardholder authorization form. This review and approval can be accomplished two ways:
Read-only access to Citibank’s website will be established for the designated reviewer. In accordance with the Internal Control Responsibilities of state Agencies, all transactions must be reviewed and approved for proper expenditure.
If the reviewer does not agree with the monthly statement, the cardholder should be asked to verify the documents and explain the reason for any discrepancy.
Supervisors must inform the Program Administrator of any transfer or termination of a cardholder or the transfer or termination of the designated reviewer.
All original documentation must be retained by the department for a minimum period of six (6) years plus the current year.
