UNM Business Purpose Requirements


A clear and valid business purpose is required for all University expense reports and PCard transactions. The business purpose must explain how the expense directly supports UNM's mission, operations, or official business activities.

UNM Reconcilers are responsible for ensuring that each transaction includes sufficient detail and an appropriate business purpose. Expense reports with vague, incomplete, or unclear business purposes will be returned for revision before they can be approved by the PCard office.

The PCard Office is responsible for verifying that:

  • Standard accounting information is properly documented.
  • Expenses comply with applicable University Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual UAP 4000 and UAP 4030.
