Business Expense Survival Tips

- March 2009 -

  Credit Card Statements Online

You do not need to wait for your CMU Business Credit Card statement to arrive in the mail each month.  Statements can be generated online through Smart Data OnLine (SDOL).  Your statement can be run on the 25th of the month which means you can get started on your reconciliation form earlier.  Remember the deadline to turn in your CMU Business Credit Card Reconciliation Forms is the 15th of the following month. 

If you do not already have access to SDOL, you will need to complete the SDOL Access & Maintenance Form located on the Controllers website http://www.controller.cmich.edu/downloads/forms.htm .

 

Reconciliation Form Reminder

When filling out your CMU Business Credit Card Reconciliation form be sure to include original itemized receipts.  Itemized receipts are required for all purchases except per diem meals while traveling.

Also, if you are documenting travel expenses, you must include the business purpose, the travel dates, time of departure, time of return and the names of others traveling with you.
