Title

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Finance Procedure 1505.3 - Procedure for Reconciling a Travel & Expense Card

Introduction

Purpose

This procedure explains the process of Travel & Expense Card (T&E Card) reconciliation. It details the process for online charges and the duties of the Accountholder.

Scope

This procedure applies to all employees (faculty, staff, and Senior University Administrators).

Procedure

Reconciling/Reallocating Charges via Concur Expense - Overview

The University has developed a process that allows T&E Card charges to be reconciled and/or reallocated to other accounts in Concur Expense.

Charges are available to reconcile after the merchant submits the charge, the bank receives and processes the data and then feeds the transaction data to Concur Expense. This normally takes three to five business days. Concur Expense will automatically send email notifications when "new company card transactions arrive." Emails will be sent from autonotification@concursolutions.com. Please note, it is against T&E Card Policy to disable this notification in your Concur Profile.

For additional information on the reconciliation/reallocation process, please refer to 1501.7 - Procedure on Travel Advances and Reimbursements.

To report fraudulent transactions on the T&E card call Bank of America at 866-500-2662

If you suspect T&E Card fraud or abuse, use the Anonymous Report of T&E Card Fraud or Abuse Web Form.
