Business Card

I work for a not for profit corporation.

Credit card charges come in, from business cards. I'm posting them to expense accounts within our system. I look at the receipts, and there are huge grocery lists, shrimp, trips to restaurants, tupperware, video games for clients. I should note that the corporation is a health care corporation with many companies providing services to elderly, children, mental health, etc.

Seems obvious to me that some of these charges may be personal expenses. But I was told my job is to just put these in the system. Doesn't feel right.

You should ask what controls are in place to prevent personal charges. That may be as simple as the purchaser assigning the purchase to a client (IE: toys purchased for the Smith kids) and if traced, there is a notation in the Smith file along with the receipts.

Every entity that has more than the owner working there should have some controls.

If you have a controller, speak to him/her. To prevent employee theft, these receipts should probably come in on an expense report listing the client who received the goods along with having the client sign a receipt for the goods.

I made it very clear to the people in my company that improper documentation could result in a charge being classified as an advance which may be deducted from their paycheck.
