Travel Cards: Internal Control Weaknesses at DOD Led to Improper Use of First and Business Class Travel
Long-standing financial management problems, coupled with
ineffective oversight and management of the Department of
Defense's (DOD) travel card program, which GAO has previously
reported on, have led to concerns about DOD's use of first and
business class airfares. At the request of the Subcommittee on
Investigations, Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, Senator
Grassley, and Representative Schakowsky, GAO performed work to
identify problems in DOD's controls over premium class travel.
This testimony focuses on (1) the extent of DOD premium class
travel, (2) the effectiveness of key internal control activities
and examples of improper premium class travel resulting from
internal control breakdowns, and (3) DOD's control environment
over premium class travel. In a companion report being issued
today, GAO made numerous recommendations--that DOD concurred
with--to strengthen key internal control activities and improve
the overall control environment.
