Book excerpt: In the wake of the 2005 hurricanes in the Gulf Region, GAO and the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG) initiated a number of audits and investigations addressing the federal government's response to those events. On July 19, 2006, GAO testified on the results of its purchase card work. This report summarizes the testimony and provides recommendations. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cardholders made thousands of transactions related to hurricane relief operations. GAO analyzed transactions between June and November of 2005 to determine if (1) DHS's control environment and management of purchase card usage were effective; (2) DHS's key internal control activities operated effectively and provided reasonable assurance that purchase cards were used appropriately; and (3) potentially fraudulent, improper, and abusive purchase card activity existed at DHS.

Book excerpt: The DoD is promoting departmentwide use of purchase cards (PC) for obtaining goods and services. PC are used exclusively for gov't.-related purchases; transactions include acquisitions at or below the $2,500 threshold, commercial training request valued at or below $25,000, and payments on contracts. The benefits of using PC are lower transaction processing costs and less "red tape" for both the gov't. and vendors. This audit of the Army's PC program addresses whether: the Army's overall control environ. and mgmt. of the PC program were effective, the Army's internal control activities operated effectively and provide reasonable assurance that PC were used appropriately, and indications existed of fraudulent, improper, and questionable transactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a comparative framework, this volume presents case studies of issues of public procurement and discusses how procurement professionals and policy makers in different regions are responding to these challenges. This book discusses current issues in public procurement. Over the past few decades, public procurement has had to evolve conceptually and organizationally in the face of unrelenting budget constraints, government downsizing, public demand for increased transparency in public procurement, as well as greater concerns about efficiency, fairness and equity. Procurement professionals have also had to deal with a changeable climate produced by emerging technology, environmental concerns, and ongoing tension between complex regional trade agreements and national socioeconomic goals. The first section discusses innovation and reforms in public procurement and how practitioners are adapting to and making use of new technologies. The second section addresses the challenges of maintaining transparency, equity, and fairness in public procurement. The final section discusses preferential public procurement and introduces strategies for building sustainable public procurement systems. By combining theory and analysis with evidence from the real world, this book is of equal use to academics, policy makers, and procurement professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A weak overall control environment and breakdowns in key internal controls have left the Army's purchase card program vulnerable to fraudulent, improper, and abusive purchases. At five Army major commands and one installation in each of the commands, GAO found that the Army had not established an effective internal control environment. As the use of purchase cards has expanded, Army management has not emphasized internal controls to ensure that individual transactions were for authorized purposes or that they adhered to legal and regulatory requirements. GAO identified a substantial number of purchases for which cardholder and approving officials had not adhered to important internal controls and were not in accordance with valid requirements, policies, and procedures. The weaknesses identified in the control environment and the breakdown in specific internal control activities resulted in potentially fraudulent and other improper transactions not being prevented or properly identified.
