Return to Article: Lawmaker urges caution in regulating purchase cards

    At present the Purchase Card Program gets audited by three independent groups of auditors. The scope of the audit is same. 1) e-business semi annual audit performed by IG (CERO) or the agency program coordinator. 2) FISC PMR review and 3) Naval audit service. I agree the program should be audited regularly as it is a very high-risk program. But having three separate audits is redundant, wasteful, and inefficient use of time and taxpayers dollars. Different auditors pull in sometimes-same transactions. There is no coordination or communication among these auditors. There should be only one audit.
