Effective immediately, Handbook AS-709, Purchase Card Policies and Procedures for Local Buying, Section 212.8, Accountability Acknowledgment Requirements, is revised. The samples in Exhibit 212.8 (a), Cardholder Accountability Acknowledgement, and Exhibit 212.8 (b), CCAO Accountability Acknowledgment, are updated as follows:
Exhibit 212.8 (a), Cardholder Accountability Acknowledgment, updates eBuy to eBuy2, adds a section for passing the required training course, changes the postal training database from National Training Database (NTD) to Learning Management System (LMS), adds a section for the cardholder’s Fedstrip number, and now only requires key elements from the cardholder’s local buying authority delegation.
Exhibit 212.8 (b), CCAO Accountability Acknowledgment, adds a section for passing the required training course, adds a section for the CCAO’s Fedstrip number, and changes the postal training database from NTD to LMS.
