Opportunity To Improve Charge Card Transaction Review and Billing Practices Identified During Investigation of Charge Card Misuse

Report Number
18-1034

During a recent investigation into allegations that a former U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) employee charged more than $14,000 in unauthorized transactions for personal gain, we learned of a U.S. Government charge/travel card (GTC) transaction review practice that could be beneficial if applied across the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). We also learned that training could help charge card reviewers at the DOI detect and prevent GTC misuse. In addition, we learned of a billing practice that makes it difficult for the Government to hold employees accountable for unresolved debts.

No Misuse of Funds or Ethics Violations by an FWS Official

Report Number
19-0336

The OIG investigated allegations that a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) official awarded or manipulated a grant to a friend in return for a favor. It was further alleged that the official benefited from a different grant that the FWS awarded to a State agency and that he may have used inside knowledge to purchase and enroll land in a Government program so he could benefit financially. We found no evidence that the FWS official awarded or manipulated any grants that benefitted himself or others.
