Why We Did This Report
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
In compliance with the Act, 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 2024, however, the EPA OIG did not perform a purchase or travel card program audit, review, or assessment 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.
