Purchasing Cards

Three purchasing cards that I research were:

1. Visa
2. Mastercard
3. American Express 

Purchasing cards are a great way to keep track of how money is spent.  With purchasing cards you can keep track of who is buying what,  A spending limit can be put on the cards. You can reduce operating costs. This is a great way to eliminate using a petty cash system.

The Visa Purchase card has a lot of advantages.

• Visa Purchase can be used everywhere Visa credit cards are accepted
• You can establish spending limits
• Electronic transaction audit trail
• Enhanced data for monitoring use of the card
• Protect from fraud and misuse
• To help with state of the art reports to assist with tax reporting
• Access 24/7 customer care service with emergency cash and card replacement

Benefits

• Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver
• Emergency Card Replacement and Emergency Cash Disbursement
• Lost/Stolen Card Reporting
• Travel and Emergency Assistance Services
• Cardholder Inquiry Service

Organizing My Personal Records

When your organizing your personal records, there are three areas that are important.

1. Findability
2. Confidentiality
3. Safety

Findability, making sure the record can be access easily and in a timely manner.
Confidentiality, making sure the record does not fall into the wrong hands. Making sure classified information stays that way.
Safety, making sure all stored information is not lost.

When storing my records, I find the safest place for my files.  When putting the records in the folders and labeling them, I always think of if I need this where would I look.  I use different colored labels, so that they all don't blend together.  The confidentiality of some of my records is important to me.  The more important records I keep in a safe.

When looking for a file folder that I cannot locate.  I do a process of elimination, think of other areas that item could be filed.

Why I need to update my filing system.  After reading this chapter, I find that there is room for improvement in my filing system.  I need to work on findability, finding the best place to put a file, where to file it.  I've always had my files in safe place.  The confidential files I have always kept locked away.  My main area to work on is organizational, including findability.
