Text of Recommendation | We recommend that the Office of the Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission enhance the documentation, monitoring, and enforcement of its
controls over the closure of charge card accounts.
• For purchase cards, EEOC management should create a control where management
reviews, on a sample basis, the purchase card account closure documentation to ensure it
adheres to the EEOC Purchase Card Audit Finding Update Memo, sent August 21, 2019,
that states, “Effective immediately, the AOs and DRMs must maintain documentation on
all account closures electronically or in hard copy. The documentation must include the
following: name of the AO or DRM who has received the employee’s charge card; date
the card has been turned in; date the card has been physically destroyed; and date that
account closure has been confirmed by Citibank.”
• For travel cards, the Charge Card Program Manager (CCPM) should maintain documentation of all account closures electronically or in hard copy. Documentation should include evidence of the name of the immediate supervisor and/or servicing personnel officer who received the employee’s charge card, the date the card was turned in, the date the card was cut in half, and the date that account closure was confirmed by the Charge Card Vendor. The policy or procedure should include monitoring by the CCPM and appropriate disciplinary actions for non-compliance. |
