Job Specifics
Duties Description Primary Responsibilities:
• Conduct Cardholder Certification Training. This is an individual training with all new cardholders. Cardholders are trained on how to download their monthly statement, how to move charges to different accounts, and how to certify their bill. A copy of their first certification will be printed, scanned, and maintained in their file.
• Complete the campus-wide certification of charges and ensure that the transfer of all monthly charges is complete and accurate. Discrepancies must be identified and
corrected timely.
• Distribute spot and sample audit requests to cardholders in an accurate and timely
matter to ensure charges are accurate, appropriate, and properly documented as required by New York State (NYS) Procurement Card (P-Card) guidelines. Track all audit documentation received and suspend the cards of those who fail to submit the
documentation requested.
• Suspend University cards of any cardholders who fail to certify by the deadline,
without the approval of the credit card unit head. Ensure a copy of the properly
completed certification printout for any statements we are forced to certify to
facilitate the campus-wide certification. Reinstate suspended cards once the proper
documentation for audit purposes is received.
• Assist Facilities in updating P-Card web application to ensure card charges hit the
appropriate accounts.
• Audit all travel and NET card charge documentation. Ensure charges are accurate,
appropriate, and properly documented as required by NYS Travel Guidelines. Work with the cardholder to address and resolve any audit findings.
• Maintain internal record of all travel and NET cardholders. Set up Concur profiles for all new Travel and NET cardholders/remove cardholders who relinquish cards and/or leave University.
• Maintain internal record of all travel approvals. Records include travel dates, location, amount, and generated approval numbers required for booking.
• Applying for new travel and NET cards, as necessary. Ensure new cardholders are added to listservs to receive pertinent information regarding travel.
• Assist Budget Office in setting up all State, IFR, and DIFR accounts. Create sub
accounts for State, IFR, DIFR.
• Assist Budget and all University Departments in maintaining the Chart of Accounts on both SUNY FMS system, and internal Excel spreadsheet.
• Assist the Assistant Director of State Accounting with overall credit card program
management (i.e., canceling/ suspending cards, establishing temporary credit increases addressing cardholder inquires)
• Supervise work study/summer intern students when assigned to the credit card team
