What must a cardholder do upon completing a trip paid for by the travel card?

Upon completing a trip paid for with the travel card, the cardholder is required to submit a travel claim for reimbursement and finalize transaction statements. This involves ensuring that all expenditures made during the trip are accurately documented and submitted in accordance with the organization’s policies.

Submitting a travel claim is essential for reconciling expenses and ensuring proper financial accountability. Finalizing transaction statements ensures that all transactions are accurately reported and can be traced back to the associated travel activity, creating a clear record for both the cardholder and the approving official.

This process not only facilitates reimbursement but also maintains compliance with financial management policies and supports the overall integrity of the travel card program. By doing so, the cardholder helps to safeguard against potential misuse and ensures that all expenses are legitimate and well-documented.
