OIG Risk Assessment of the Department’s Purchase Card Program for Fiscal Year 2016

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. We found that the Department has policies and procedures that address applicable purchase card internal control requirements. We also noted that the Department has adequate monitoring procedures to reduce the risk that illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases are made within its purchase card program. Further, we found that the Department implemented our suggestions from prior assessmentsto coordinate with its Office of Human Resources regarding the required reporting of data to the Office of Management and Budget on disciplinary actions.
