During 2004, the Finance and Administration division provided essential financial support for all AKC and CAR programs.

A new corporate credit card program for employee travel and operating requirements was implemented during 2004. The new program provides corporate cardholders with online 24/7 real time information and an electronic expense reporting system, which substantially reduces administrative and paper record retention requirements.

The necessary financial support was also provided for AKC-sponsored special events, including the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship and AKC-CAR Canine Support & Relief Fund.
