The State of
New York
Overview of State Payments
 State payment practices are inefficient
– 63.29% of our transactions that are eligible to be paid by credit card
are $250 or less – representing 1.34% of the dollars spent
– 39.14% of these payments are under $67 – representing 0.28% of the
dollars spent
– We had one 1 cent payment
– We had 881 of these payments under $1
– Processing a traditional voucher costs at least $67 a transaction
 Agencies could free up resources for more significant issues,
such as contracts or other financial management practices
WE CAN’T KEEP OPERATING THIS WAY!

New York
Traditional Control Systems
 Our traditional control systems are designed to prevent
problems
–
–
–
–
–
Purchase request
Purchase order
Invoice
Receiving report
Voucher
 This system is costly, inefficient and frustrates State
employees trying to do their jobs
 Ultimately, we have a costly system to control minutiae
5
The State of
New York
Updated Control Systems
 For small dollar purchases we need to move from prevention
controls to detection controls
– Budget to operating unit
– Credit cards to program staff who need to make purchases – not just
finance office staff
– Smart cards to limit unrestrained spending
– Data analysis to identify improper purchases looking for trends,
patterns or outliers
– Disciplinary action targeted to cardholder abusers – including possible
prosecution. Leave the good people alone!

Hierarchy
The State of
New York
 Similar to an organization chart for your agency
 Hierarchy is the foundation for your program
 Defines report recipients
 Multiple billing accounts are not necessary, as there are no
limits to the number of cardholders on an account
 If cardholders are setup in the wrong hierarchy you will not be
able to move those cardholders or change the hierarchy until
the cycle cut
 To obtain a hierarchy setup form, e-mail a request including
your agency code(s) to creditcard@ogs.state.ny.us
10
Hierarchy
The State of
New York
 The Travel and Procurement Cards each have a separate
hierarchy
 State Agencies and Other Authorized entities using the State
contract have separate hierarchies
 Foundations for four hierarchies have been established
