Team Purchasing of Material/Services

Just a question for the teams out there.

How does your team purchase material and services. Right now the money from the sponsorship (My Employer) gets transferred to the school. The mentors have to buy everything on our credit cards then submit the invoice and a copy of our credit card receipts showing the charge. Then it goes to the school who audits it (and usually finds some BS problem with it) then a while later the school cuts a check and mails it to you. I personally have had it with the system and think it is terrible to have the mentors floating sizable loans to the team then jumping through hoops to get reimbursed.

So how does your team do it?
