Excerpt
Excerpt: The Office of Inspector General has completed an audit of bankcard transactions at the National Marine Fisheries Service?s Southeastern Fisheries Science Center at Miami for the 12-month period ended September 1998 to determine whether the purchases were in compliance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation and Commerce Acquisition Manual requirements. By using the bankcard, the Southeastern Fisheries Science Center has reduced the administrative burden and cost associated with small purchases and enhanced its ability to fulfill its mission. However, we found deficiencies in internal control practices, which we believe can be prevented by cardholder training and stronger oversight from cognizant agency officials.
