The ELCA American Express expense form is to be completed each month by those staff, which have been granted ELCA American Express corporate cards.

Staff should note the following information regarding the ELCA American Express corporate card.

It is the Office of the Treasurer's defined best practice that staff obtain their American Express statements online each month by accessing their online accounts and downloading the PDF statement file.  The statements should be available online on or around the 24th of each month.

Completed American Express expense forms, statements, and all original receipts must be submitted in a timely fashion in accordance with the dates set by the Office of the Treasurer.  To obtain monthly American Express submission due dates, please contact your unit's assigned Unit Accountant/Budget Director.

Any late fees accessed to a staff person's American Express corporate account are considered a personal expense and must be paid out-of-pocket by the individual.

Questions may be referred to your unit's Unit Accountant/Budget Director or John Temmerman, controller, (773) 380-2892.
