Purchase Card Administration
In order to reduce the volume of accounts payable transactions and improve procurement efficiency, the County of Frederick fully implemented a VISA purchasing card program on July 1, 2008. This improves administrative efficiency by consolidating multiple vendor payments and reducing associated costs.
Using a purchasing card for purchases improves cash flow for both Frederick County and the vendor. The Federal Government has used credit cards to purchase small dollar items since 1986. Similar programs in state, local, and commercial applications have been very successful. The resulting efficiencies include lower per purchase transaction costs, faster vendor payment, reduced accounting effort, and more accurate records.
