Travel Cards: Air Force Management Focus has Reduced Delinquencies, but Improvements in Controls are Needed

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 DOD's 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.
