2008-709 audit of acquisition cards : final report / Office of Audit and Evaluation.: P24-709/2008E-PDF

"The goal of the Government of Canada’s acquisition card program is to provide a convenient, efficient, and cost-effective way to obtain and pay for goods and services. The program has grown rapidly since its implementation in 1991. As of March 31, 2008, PWGSC had 1,394 acquisition cards in circulation resulting in 62,625 transactions totalling $22.5 million during the 2007/2008 fiscal year. The use of acquisition cards has made it difficult to apply traditional financial controls, such as segregation of duties. Essential control cannot be achieved if organizations do not monitor and analyze cards, record and match charges, and carry out periodic audits and verifications of card transactions. It is important to identify trends and patterns to exercise control over cards"--Main Points, p. i.
