OIG Risk Assessment of the Department’s Purchase Card Program for Fiscal Year 2019

Based on our review, we determined that the purchase card program does not pose a high risk to the Department and an audit of the program is not necessary. We found that the Department has policies and procedures in place that address the applicable purchase card internal control requirements identified in the Charge Card Act and related Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. We also noted that the Department has adequate monitoring procedures in place to reduce the risk that illegal, improper, and erroneous purchases are made within the purchase card program. Further, we found that the Department has implemented all of our suggestions and recommendations included in prior risk assessments.
