  20. Personal Purchases • Amazon, iTunes, Fed Ex • We strongly recommend creating a separate account with your NAU information for these purchases to avoid an accidental charge. • Restaurants, clothing stores • Keep your P Card stored separately from your personal card. Pick up a card sleeve at the check in desk! • Two personal purchases within two years will result in revocation of your P card privileges.

  21. All transactions posting in PeopleSoft Financials are subject to policy. • Example: Alcohol can be purchased under certain circumstances through the Foundation. However, you can NOT purchase alcohol on the P Card and then reimburse with Foundation funds. This would be considered a restricted commodity violation.

  24. Public Purpose • What is the purpose of what was purchased? • How does this purchase serve the best interest of the University? • Description is the actual good or service that was purchased. • Public purpose is the reason.

  29. “HOW WE SEE IT” PCARD ADMINISTRATORS PROCESSES Speaker: Samantha Cayo

  30. Peoplesoft financials pcard roles • Reconciler: an NAU employee who has been issued an NAU Purchasing Card (“PCard”). • Approver: the NAU employee who has been authorized to monitor and approve PCard activity for assigned Reconcilers. • Administrator: a Purchasing Services employee responsible for performing functions and executing operations of the NAU Purchasing Card Program.

  31. Pcard administrator responsibilities • Processing applications for new Reconcilers and new Approvers • Ordering new cards from JP Morgan Chase • Entering new Pcard account numbers into PeopleSoft Financials • Adding or updating speedcharts on Reconcilers’ accounts • Assigning new Approvers to Reconcilers’ accounts • Closing out/canceling Reconciler accounts • Monitoring the University’s Pcard transactions for compliance and fraud • Processing temporary spending limit increases • Responding to questions and providing instruction on the reconciliation process • Downloading new transactions into PeopleSoft Financials • Completing the Post Payment process at the end of each Billing Cycle • Providing training to other departments • Processing Notification of Violations (NOVs)

  32. New Pcard applications • We first review applications for any missing information • If your department has multiple Approvers, please provide their names and User IDs in the margins of the form or in your email • We enroll the applicant in the BBLearntraining and send out an email notification • Transit time is 7-10 business days from the date the card was ordered. New cards are ordered after the training is passed with a 100% score.

  33. Assigning a speedchart to a card • Speedcharts are added to Reconciler accounts. It is necessary to go into each specific Reconciler account to manually add or remove new Speedcharts. • To request that a new Speedchartbe added to a Pcard account, email pcard@nau.edu and include the name(s) and Employee ID #(s) of the Reconciler(s) as well as the Speedchart key somewhere in your email. • Speedcharts are not automatically purged from accounts when they expire. If you email us, we can also delete Speedcharts that are no longer needed to help clean up your account(s).

  34. Assigning an approver to a card • Pcard Approvers are required to complete additional training through BBLearn, as well as submit an Epass security request through Louie to obtain the PeopleSoft Financials Approver role. • Once the Epass has been approved, Purchasing Services will need to assign the new Approver to specific Reconcilers. Please include a list of users for which you will be approving when you submit your Approver agreement.

  35. Temporary limit increases • Submit a completed Pcard Change/Exception Request form AND a copy of the quote to pcard@nau.edu. • Spending limit increases are entered on the JP Morgan Chase website. • If the merchant does not run your card by the Limit End date, we will need to extend your increase or the transaction will decline. • Note: transactions should never be “split” into lesser amounts to circumvent a spending limit.

  36. Closing pcard accounts • Pcard Accounts should be promptly closed when an NAU employee is leaving the University. If possible, verify with the employee whether they are anticipating any pending charges. • Please either complete the Pcard Change Request form and select “Delete/Close Account” or email pcard@nau.eduto request that the account be closed. The physical card can be shredded. • If an employee is transferring to another NAU department and will still require a Pcard at their new position, then their account does not need to be closed, but can rather be updated with their new department’s information.

  37. The post payment process • The purpose of this process is to post Pcard transactions to departments’ general ledgers. • The post payment process is completed on most Fridays, as well as at the end of every month. The Billing Cycle of Post Payment dates can be found on the CPS webpage. • All “Approved” transactions that are in a valid budget status will be closed out and posted on the scheduled Post Payment dates. All remaining transactions will be closed during the Final Post Payment for the month. • Once a Pcard transaction has been closed out in Peoplesoft Financials and posted, users will no longer be able to edit or redistribute the transaction, although documentation can still be uploaded to Onbase.

  38. EXTERNAL PCARD FRAUD CONTRACTING AND PURCHASING SERVICES

  39. What is it? • External fraud is the unauthorized use of your account. It is any transaction that was made with a lost, stolen or counterfeit card/number. • It is not an over charge or unexpected charge by a merchant. These are considered disputable charges and are not fraudulent. • Cardholders can still dispute transactions with the bank but must first try to resolve the conflict with the merchant. JP Morgan Chase Dispute Department: 1-800-270-7760

  40. It happens. U.S. Card Fraud by Type, 2014 31.8 million U.S. consumers had their credit cards breached in 2014 45% Online 37% Counterfeit 14% Lost/Stolen

  41. How does it happen? • Merchant’s network is hacked. • Skimming. • Phishing/Social Engineering.

  42. Measures to Prevent Fraud 05. Keep Card Secured 02. Clear Browser 06. Review Transactions 01. Secure Sites 03. Don’t Save 04. Don’t Lose Sight Review transactions often – not just at the end of the month. Keep card in a locked or secured place when not in use. Only shop on or provide card information on secure HTTPS sites. Do not save card information with online merchants. Try not to lose sight of your card when paying. Clear browser cache after transactions are made.

  43. What we do: • Perform spot checks on recent transactions. • Review declines report. • If we see something questionable the PCard team will reach out to the cardholder for additional information.

  44. What to do if you have a Fraudulent Transaction: Act quickly. Call the number on the back of your card to report the fraudulent transaction. *Remember to use the last four digits of your Employee ID (not your SSN). The cardholder will be asked to verify legitimate transactions with the bank. JPMorgan will close the account and begin the investigation. A new card will be issued and transactions will be transferred to the new account.

  45. What to do if you have a Fraudulent Transaction:(Continued) Resolution and refunds can take up to 90 days. Reconcilers and Approvers will still need to verify the fraudulent transactions in PeopleSoft.

  46. Cardholders are the first line of defense. As the cardholder you are most familiar with transactions on your account. If you see something suspicious or have concerns you can call us and we can temporarily suspend the account. Phone: 928-523-4557 E-mail: PCard@nau.edu
