Why OIG Did This Audit

• The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 requires Offices of Inspectors General to conduct periodic risk assessments of agency travel card programs. We selected the Administration for Community Living's (ACL) travel card program for review to fulfill this mandate.
• We analyzed the risk of illegal, improper, or erroneous travel card purchases and determined whether ACL designed and implemented controls and strategies to mitigate these potential risks.

What OIG Found

Overall, we assessed the risk of illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases in the ACL travel card program as moderate. Within the 6 risk areas related to ACL's travel card program, we identified 44 sub-risk areas and rated 28 as low risk, 13 as moderate risk, and 3 as high risk.

What OIG Recommends

We recommend that ACL develop mitigating controls and strategies to address the high and moderate risks we identified.

ACL did not indicate concurrence or nonconcurrence with our recommendation but outlined proposed measures it planned to undertake to mitigate the identified risks.
