So the University System of Georgia has a system in place to enable offices to procure supplies and materials quickly and easily called the Purchase Card (P-Card for short). Basically this amounts to a State Credit Card in the name of one person in each office that can be used to make tax free purchases, pretty much at whatever store you want to...but there are rules governing what you should and should not buy.
You can buy supplies and day to day materials...such as paper, pens, staples, folders, etc. In certain circumstances you can buy other items like books, blank RW media, flash drives, etc. You can't buy things like plane tickets, rental cars, clothes, computers, rounds of golf, trips to the strip club (it seriously says these things in the manual).
All of my purchases are totally kosher, I follow the rules to the "T". If it ever strays I get prior approval for the purchase by our P-Card manager in the office of fiscal affairs so that it is documented and won't fall back on my ass.
So I'm not worried, but apparently a lot of people should be. Check out what the CFO was doing at a different university here in savannah. http://www.ajc.com/search/content/metro/stories/2007/12/12/pcards_1213.html
I know many people who are going to have a tough time with this audit.
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK HERE PEOPLE! GA Tax dollars being misused, and federal tax dollars getting wasted on audits.
