Office of the Chief Financial Officer

We recommend that the Office of the Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission enhance the documentation, monitoring, and
enforcement of its controls over the closure of charge card accounts.
 

Report the OIG's finding of non-compliance with the FY 2021 PIIA requirements, as outlined in OMB Memorandum M-21-19, Section VI.D, "Agency Responsibility When a Program is Non-Compliant."

Annually conduct an improper payment review in accordance with PIIA and follow the guidance outlined in OMB Circular A-136, section II.4.5 [Payment Integrity Information Act].

We recommend EEOC management create a control where management reviews, on a sample basis, at least quarterly, the approved PP&E disposals/retirements for conformity to EEOC SOP for OIT Excess Property that states, “When equipment is disposed of, an SF 120, SF 122, or SF 120 copy using GSAXcess, is approved by the EEOC Approving Official, CSD Backup or Property manager, evidenced by their signature and date.” EEOC management should follow-up with Approving Official(s), CSD Backup or Property management who have been found to not adhere to requirements of the SOPs for OIT Excess Property

We recommend EEOC management update its policies and procedures to include all required safeguards and internal controls to be compliant with the Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012. In addition, EEOC should create a monitoring control to review the policy when changes or updates are made to federal law or Office of Management and Budget or General Services Administration guidance

For purchase cards, EEOC management should create a control where management reviews, on a sample basis, purchase cards transactions to ensure all obligating documents and purchase orders are in conformity with EEOC Directives Transmittal Order 360.003, Commercial Purchase Charge Card Program Practical User's Guide.

We recommend EEOC ensure that emailed policy memos are promptly updated in the appropriate EEOC Directives Transmittal Order.

OCFO should revise EEOC Order 360.001 as needed to assist CORs in performing their
duties. Include implementation guidance for contract administration activities, such as
submitting contract modifications.
