Department of Defense Charge Card Task Force

Abstract

The implementation of charge card programs in the Department of Defense (DoD) is a cost-saving business initiative that reforms processes and improves mission effectiveness. For example, use of purchase cards resulted in an estimated savings of over $900 million over the past 8 years. And implementation of the travel charge card significantly reduced the number of cash travel advances required. Charge cards carry with them an inherent risk of abuse or misuse, however, and recent audit reports provide evidence of failures of the internal control systems designed to mitigate this risk. These failures foster the misperception that the Department cannot effectively manage the public resources entrusted to it.
