Card Statement Reconciliation Template

What is the card statement reconciliation form template?

Corporate and purchasing cards save a lot of reimbursement paperwork, but only if each statement gets reconciled. Without a routine, receipts go missing, charges sit uncoded and finance spends month end chasing cardholders for what a lunch was for.

This three-page form follows the cardholder's monthly routine. They give their department, the last four digits of the card, the statement period and total, how many transactions there are, and upload the statement. The transactions page shows one block per charge — up to ten — each with date, merchant, amount, cost code, business purpose and whether the receipt is attached, missing or not needed.

The last page takes the receipts, any personal charges and how they'll be repaid, charges being disputed, notes on missing receipts, the cardholder's confirmation and the approving manager. Each reconciliation is saved as a PDF in your FileIt vault with its statement and receipts.

The card statement reconciliation form, page by page

1 Statement

The cardholder gives their name, Email and Department, then Card ending in (exactly four digits), Statement period, Statement total and Number of transactions, up to ten. The card statement upload is required.

2 Transactions

One block appears for each transaction in the count. Each asks for Date, Merchant, Amount (refunds as a negative figure), Cost code or GL, Business purpose and Receipt: attached below, missing (explained in notes) or not needed under policy.

3 Receipts & sign-off

Receipts accepts up to ten files. Any personal or non-business charges? reveals the amount to repay and how — payroll deduction, transfer or other. Any charges you don't recognise or are disputing? asks which ones and whether the card provider has been told. After notes, the cardholder confirms the charges were for business, and names the approving manager and their email.
