Purchase Cards
Agencies must develop internal policies and procedures in line with the purchase card policies and procedures set by DES. An agency’s internal policy should include requirements set in the DES Policies and Procedures, internal control requirements in SAAM Chapter 20, and disbursements of electronic funds in SAAM Chapter 40.
Purchases made with a purchase card are to be procured within the same statutes, rules, policies, and procedures as purchases by any other means of payment.
