It is extremely unlikely that the data on a credit card statement would 
be sufficient to assign transactions to the proper account. I say that 
because the information is generally insufficient even for a human to do 
that. Usually just the VENDOR is specified, not what the payment was 
for. ROFLOL, when doing the books for those of my one of my orgs that 
have organizational credit cards I am frequently sending emails to the 
people who used their cards  asking "what was THAT charge for?" << in 
some cases I can assign the proper expense account just knowing the 
vendor but in most cases not so >>
