As required by the Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 (Charge Card Act), we performed a review to analyze the risk of illegal, improper, and erroneous purchases and payments made through the Department’s purchase card program, and to use the results to determine the scope, frequency, and number of periodic audits of purchase card transactions to perform in the future.
The Department’s purchase card program does not pose a high risk to the Department and an audit of the program is not necessary. We found that the Department has policies and procedures in place that address the applicable purchase card internal control requirements identified in the Charge Card Act and related Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. We also noted that the Department has adequate monitoring procedures in place to reduce the risk that illegal, improper, and erroneous purchases are made within the purchase card program.
The report did not include any recommendations.
