OIG Report to the Office of Management and Budget on the EPA’s and the CSB’s Implementation of Recommendations Related to Purchase and Travel Card Programs
The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-194, requires inspectors general to conduct periodic audits and assessments of purchase card programs and periodic audits or reviews of travel card programs at their agencies.
Summary of Findings
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducts periodic audits, assessments, and reviews of the travel and purchase card programs at the EPA and the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. In fiscal year 2025, however, we did not perform a purchase or travel card program audit, assessment, or review for the EPA or the CSB. Also, as of the date of this letter, there are no outstanding OIG recommendations related to the EPA or CSB travel and purchase card programs.
The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012, Pub. L. 112-194, and Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-123, Appendix B, A Risk Management Framework for Government Charge Card Programs, directs each head of an executive agency with more than $10 million in purchase card spending annually, and each inspector general of such an executive agency, to submit to the OMB director, on a semiannual basis, a joint report on purchase card violations.
Summary of Findings
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared the Semi-Annual Report on Purchase Charge Card Violations for the period of April 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025. The EPA reported no violations for the period. The OIG received no information that is inconsistent with the EPA’s violation report for the reporting period. Additionally, the OIG received no allegations of misuse of the government purchase card for the semiannual period.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is initiating a risk assessment of the U.S. AbilityOne Commission’s Charge Card Programs. The “Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012” requires the Inspector General to conduct periodic assessments of the Commission’s purchase and travel card(s).
The objective of the risk assessment is to analyze and identify the risks of illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases and payments within the Commission’s charge card programs to determine whether an audit is warranted or make recommendations and identify areas of risk that the Commission could improve to strengthen its charge card programs.
To enhance the operational efficiency of mission support services, such as information technology, financial resources, human resources, legal services, and infrastructure management, NASA initiated the Mission Support Future Architecture Program (MAP) in 2017 to move from a center-focused approach to an interdependent agency-wide model.While MAP consolidated Agency mission support services and enabled a more strategic view of Agency operations, implementation remains incomplete despite NASA declaring the initiative complete in 2021.
