 <title>State&apos;s Centrally Billed Foreign Affairs Travel: Internal Control Breakdowns and Ineffective Oversight Lost Taxpayers Tens of Millions of Dollars</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The relative size of the Department of State&apos;s (State) travel
program and continuing concerns about fraud, waste, and abuse in 
government travel card programs led to this request to audit	 
State&apos;s centrally billed travel accounts. GAO was asked to	 
evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over (1) the	 
authorization and justification of premium-class tickets charged 
to the centrally billed account and (2) monitoring of unused	 
tickets, reconciling monthly statements, and maximizing 	 
performance rebates.</abstract>
