Prepare and distribute credit card transaction reports to employees, collect documentation, and monitor timely submission of receipts and responses. Reconcile credit card statements and bank-related activity on a bi-weekly basis by matching transactions to accounting records and resolving exceptions. Create journal entries from reconciled credit card activity and post or import them into the accounting system with appropriate supporting documentation. Investigate unmatched transactions, communicate with cardholders or stakeholders to obtain missing information, and escalate unresolved discrepancies as needed.
