Acquisition: Summary Report on the Joint Review of Selected DoD Purchase Card Transactions

摘要

Policy makers, senior managers, purchase card program managers, approving officials, and cardholders should read this report to help improve any deficiencies in the internal control structure of the DoD Purchase Card Program. This report cites examples of potentially inappropriate and fraudulent use of purchase cards by DoD cardholders. The potentially inappropriate and fraudulent use was detected using data mining techniques, which support data mining as a control mechanism of identifying purchase card transactions with a higher probability of being fraudulent, wasteful, or abusive.
