Review of Business-Class and First-Class Airfares Within the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense

Abstract

We reviewed 20 transactions that were coded as business-class and first-class travel during the 2002 and 2003 calendar years for the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (OIG DoD). To ensure auditor impartiality, the Audit Policy and Oversight Directorate arranged to conduct the internal review of the OIG DoD business class and first-class travel transactions. Official travel must comply with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR), the DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR), and the OIG Travel Manual, The JTR, Volume 2, Section C2204, addresses commercial air accommodations for DoD civilian personnel. The regulation provides guidance on authorization/approval, traveler's responsibilities and documentation, and circumstances justifying use of business-class and first-class airfares. The JTR is updated periodically; therefore we evaluated the transactions against the edition of the JTR that was in effect at the time the trip was booked by the travel agency.
