Forwarding this request for information to our own Grants Accountant,
Mary Wilson, I received the following information:

> We have most of our grants using Pro Card for supplies and services.
The biggest
> problem to us right now is that the closing dates on the credit card
statement are so
> far behind, that sometimes when the charges are applied to the grant
account it is
> after the termination dates of the grants.  Thus, we have to rely on
the PIs to let
> Accounting know that there are charges for a given month.  For
example, the grant
> ends August 31, and the PI make charges August 29, that bill will not
come in until
> almost the end of September, and if the PI continue to spend, when
that Pro Card
> bill is charged to the grant, it can overspend the grant.
