Performance Audit of the United States Capitol Police Purchase Card Program

In accordance with our Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 annual plan, the Office of Inspector General(OIG) conducted a performance audit to determine whether the United States Capitol Police (USCP or Department) established adequate controls over its Purchase Card Program to ensure compliance with policies and procedures. Our scope included controls, processes, and operations from October 1, 2016, through March 31, 2017. Of 31 purchase cards the Department authorized, 26 card holders used their cards for 1,661 individual transactions, spending more than $1 million during the audit period.
