Report Description:
We are required to conduct periodic risk assessments of U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) charge card programs to analyze the risk of illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases and payments. We must report annually to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on the DOI’s progress in implementing our audit recommendations related to Government charge cards.
We issued three reports related to internal controls over Government purchase cards and travel cards within the past 6 years that still had open recommendations at the start of fiscal year (FY) 2018, but all of these recommendations were closed prior to the end of FY 2018. We reported two resolved but unimplemented recommendations to the OMB for FY 2017; during FY 2018, those two recommendations were implemented and closed. As of September 30, 2018, there are no remaining open recommendations.
We also reported to the OMB that we anticipate the issuance of three charge card-related audit reports in FY 2019. We noted that the DOI started a new contract with Citibank in November 2018, which replaced the previous integrated card with separate cards for purchase, fleet, and travel business lines.
