Report: OIG Report to the Office of Management and Budget on the EPA’s Semiannual Report on Purchase Card Violations

Report # 25-N-0044, August 13, 2025
Why We Did This Report

The Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012, Pub. L. 112-194, and Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-123, Appendix B, A Risk Management Framework for Government Charge Card Programs, which directs each head of an executive agency with more than $10 million in purchase card spending annually, and each inspector general of such an executive agency, to submit to the OMB director, on a semiannual basis, a joint report on purchase card violations.
 

Summary of Findings

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared the Semi-Annual Report on Purchase Charge Card Violations covering the period between October 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. The EPA reported no violations for the period. The EPA Office of Inspector General received no information that is inconsistent with the EPA’s violation report for the reporting period. The OIG received one allegation of misuse of a government purchase card during this semiannual period, but a subsequent investigation determined that, although an unauthorized user accessed the purchase card, there was no employee misuse.
