Management Assistance Report: Process Used by the Department of State To Prepare the Joint Purchase and Integrated Card Violation Report Requires Improvement

OIG recommends that the Bureau of Administration, Office of Logistics Management, Office of Acquisitions Management, develop and implement a process to collect and report in a timely manner all relevant information pertaining to purchase and integrated card violations, as required by Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-13-21. The process should include a review by OIG of the report before it is submitted to Office of Management and Budget because the statute and OMB guidance call for a joint report from the agency head and the inspector general.
