Purchase Card Statement Storage/Audit

UWM Procurement is responsible for the maintenance of the Streamline Purchase Card Statement Storage site and providing support to UWM faculty and staff to enable them to store their statement, per policy, in a timely fashion. Items approved through the Purchase Card Statement Storage Process will be saved to the SharePoint storage site. An automated process will occur to ensure statements are received within the required time frames, contacting cardholders who are not in compliance until statements and documentation are uploaded to the storage site.
