OIG Risk Assessment of the Department’s Purchase Card Program for Fiscal Year 2015
The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 requires inspectors general to conduct periodic risk assessments of their agency’s purchase card program to identify and analyze the risks of illegal, improper, and erroneous purchases and payments. Inspectors General must then use the results of those risk assessments to determine the scope, frequency, and number of periodic audits of purchase card transactions to perform in the future. Our review determined that the purchase card program does not pose a high risk to the Department and an audit of the program was not necessary.
The Puerto Rico Department of the Family (State agency) did not ensure that providers that received funds from the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) complied with Administration for Integral Child Care and Development (lead agency) requirements related to the health and safety of children. We found that all 20 providers that we reviewed did not always comply with lead agency requirements to ensure the health and safety of children. Specifically, we found potentially hazardous conditions at 19 of the 20 providers, and 11 of the providers did not comply with requirements to obtain background checks on household members and employees.
