Abstract:

Ineffective management and oversight of the Department of Defenses DOD premium class travel and unused airline tickets led to concerns about DODs overall management of the centrally billed accounts. GAO was asked to determine whether 1 DOD improperly reimbursed travelers for airline tickets DOD paid for using centrally billed accounts, 2 internal controls were effective in preventing issuance of unauthorized airline tickets, and 3 other control weaknesses led to compromised and fraudulently used centrally billed accounts.
