Upon receipt of the monthly bank statement, I will verify the accuracy of the charges and forward the statement along with supporting itemized receipts to my Department Administrator. If there is a disputed charge on the statement, I understand it is my obligation to contact US bank for resolution.

I further understand that my card privileges may be revoked for improper use of the card or non-adherence to the Purchasing Card policies and procedure. Should I terminate employment with the University, or change departments, I will return the card to the Department Administrator.
