Abstract:

Poor oversight and management of the Department of Defense DOD travel card program has led to high delinquency rates costing DOD millions in lost rebates and increased ATM fees. As a result, Congress asked GAO to report on 1 the magnitude, impact, and cause of delinquencies, 2 the types of fraudulent and abusive uses of travel cards, and 3 the effectiveness of internal controls over DODs travel card program. GAO previously reported on travel card management at the Army and Navy. This report focuses on travel card management at the Air Force.
