CFPB Report: April 1, 2020
Bureau travel cards were used for 48,818 purchases totaling some $11.1 million in fiscal year 2019. We analyzed the risks of illegal, improper, or erroneous purchases and payments.
The results of the risk assessment show that the risk of illegal, improper, or erroneous use in the Bureau’s travel card program is medium. Although a risk level of medium means that illegal, improper, or erroneous use is likely to occur, such an occurrence would be expected to have a limited effect on current operations and long-term objectives. Nevertheless, the Bureau’s Office of Travel and Relocation should continue to take appropriate actions to ensure proper oversight of its program. We completed an audit of the Bureau’s travel card program in September 2018. As a result, we will not include an audit of the travel card program in our 2020 audit plan.
