DoD’s Policies, Procedures, and Practices for Information Security Management of Covered Systems
The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-194) requires Offices of Inspector General to, among other things, conduct periodic assessments of the government purchase card program to identify and analyze risks of illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases and payments. According to Office of Management and Budget memorandum M-13-21, this risk assessment should be performed annually. The purpose of this memorandum is to fulfill the requirements of the Act and OMB guidance. Generally, we found that PBGC has policies and procedures in place to address the requirements in the Act, and has internal controls to assist in the monitoring of this program. Based on our review, we determined that the risk of illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases is low.
•The Prints and Photographs Division Effectively Tracks Its Materials, But Needs to Assess the Risks Associated With Its Growing Quantity of Materials Not Fully Processed
To further its monitoring of collections-related issues, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted a performance audit of the Prints and Photographs (P&P) Division’s administrative and accounting controls over its collection. Our objectives were to examine (1) the criteria guiding the P&P Division’s acquisition process, (2) the P&P Division’s mechanisms for tracking and accounting for the items acquired, and (3) how the performance of the P&P Division’s acquisition efforts are assessed. The OIG has reported on collections-related issues previously.
