 <title>Governmentwide Purchase Cards: Actions Needed to Strengthen Internal Controls to Reduce Fraudulent, Improper, and Abusive Purchases</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Over the past several years, GAO has issued numerous reports and
testimonies on internal control breakdowns in certain individual 
agencies&apos; purchase card programs. In light of these findings, GAO
was asked to analyze purchase card transactions governmentwide to
(1) determine whether internal control weaknesses existed in the 
government purchase card program and (2) if so, identify examples
of fraudulent, improper, and abusive activity. GAO used 	 
statistical sampling to systematically test internal controls and
data mining procedures to identify fraudulent, improper, and	 
abusive activity. GAO&apos;s work was not designed to determine the	 
overall extent of fraudulent, improper, or abusive transactions.</abstract>
