OIG Report No. 2013-AE-C-017: The CFPB Should Strengthen Internal Controls for Its Government Travel Card Program to Ensure Program Integrity

Attached is the Office of Inspector General's final report on the subject audit. We conducted this audit to identify opportunities for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to strengthen the internal controls of its travel card program. We focused on internal controls to prevent and detect fraudulent or unauthorized use of travel cards and over the issuance, monitoring, and close out of travel cards.

We provided you with a copy of our draft report for review and comment. In your response, you stated that you concurred with our recommendations and are in the process of implementing and making changes to the travel card program. We have included your response as appendix B in our report.

We appreciate the cooperation that we received from the Office of Chief Financial Officer, the Travel and Relocation Office, and the Office of Human Capital. Additionally, we appreciate the cooperation of the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Public Debt. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this report or any related issues.
