Tampa, FL May 4, 2009 - The Internal Audit Department released their audit report of Parks & Recreation's Purchase Card Program.
The purposes of the Purchase Card Program are to:
• Allow goods and services to be obtained faster and easier.
• Reduce paperwork and processing time in the department, Purchasing and Accounts Payable.
• Enable employees to be more efficient, and to focus on the more value added aspects of their jobs.
• Provide cost savings by consolidating payment to one vendor.
The Purchasing Card Policy is documented in the City’s Purchasing Manual. In general, each P-Card holder has a $15,000 monthly limit on purchases with a limit of $1,999 per purchase. Purchases are restricted to certain category of items. Excluded from the allowable purchases are capital items, cellular telephones, alcohol and tobacco, certain reimbursable travel expenses, cash advances, food (unless prior mayoral approval obtained), and gasoline purchases within Hillsborough County. Cardholders must assure that sales tax has not been added to the purchase.
