P-Card AuditOffice of BOC-District 1

General InformationOn March 25, 2010 Internal Audit conducted a P-Card compliance audit of the Office of BOC-District 1.Internal Audit reviewed the P-Card transactions for the period October 2009 through February 2010.

Purpose and ScopeThe purpose of this audit was to determine if the Office of BOC-District 1 complied with County P-Cardpolicies and procedures.

We reviewed cardholder transactions, signoff reports and invoices/receipts to determine the following:

(1) P-Card Representative properly maintained and reconciled transactions on a monthly basis.(2) Transactions were appropriate for the department's business.(3) Individual transactions did not exceed the amount specified by County P-Card policies and

procedures for the Board ($5,000 maximum per individual purchase).(4) Total monthly transactions did not exceed amount specified by the County P-Card policies and

procedures ($5,000 maximum per month).(5) Cardholders were not using the P-Card for non-business related goods and services.(6) The transactions were approved.

OpinionIn our opinion, the Office of BOC-District 1 did not fully comply with County P-Card policies andprocedures.

Deficiencies1) Supporting documentation was not provided for some P-Card transactions.2) In a sample of 17 transactions for the period shown, 12 were for restaurants. As stated in the

Purchasing Card Policy, the P-Card program allows designated employees to purchasebusiness-related goods and services. P-Card transactions from restaurants could become costlyover a 12-month period of time.

Recommendations(1) All P-Card transactions should have supporting documentation.(2) All P-Card transactions should be limited to business-related goods and services, and efforts

should be used to reduce frequency of use at restaurants.

CommentsDuring our review we observed that the vendor included sales taxes on a purchase. In order to takeadvantage of DeKalb County tax-exempt status, cardholders should present their certificate of exemptionto the vendor.

We reviewed the corresponding general ledger account for each transaction of our sample. Most of thetransactions were charged to "other miscellaneous charges". These transactions could be misclassified.Attached is a spreadsheet with alternative general ledger accounts that may be more appropriate for thetransaction type.
