DHS - OIG-23-35 - 2

We recommend the DHS Chief Financial Officer, Assistant Director of the Financial Management Bankcard and Review Branch ensure that Component Primary Organization Program Coordinators at DHS Headquarters, Coast Guard, and the DHS Office of Homeland Security Situational Awareness develop an approach to ensure that Purchase and Fleet Card Program accounts are monitored in accordance with regulations and Department and component policies and procedures to ensure: • purchase and fleet card spending limits are established based on procurement need (i.e., evaluating spending limits and cardholder spending patterns); • accuracy and completeness of Purchase and Fleet Card Program records; • retention of purchase and fleet card records in a central location; • separation of duties of key Purchase and Fleet Card Program functions; • consistent support of appropriate levels of approval and required signatures; and • Purchase and Fleet Card Program accounts are closed in a timely manner.
