Credit Card Fraud

NAVSUP was not created many years ago because a lot of people needed jobs. It was created as a watchdog. But that control "went out the window" with the introduction of Credit Cards.

So, if I am correct, the VA has a 99% success record on credit card purchases and less than 1% on fraud. Those wasteful wasteful people!

Misuse of Credit Cards
Dept of Veterans Affairs

If VA employees are misusing their gov't credit cards, the facility, in the case of medical centers, is lax in enforcing its policies. Fiscal service receives a copy of the monthly statement for every card, and unless the facility has internal enforcement, people will take advantage of the privilege of having a gov't credit card. Fortunately, our facility has internal enforcement at every level, and anyone who abuses the card is eventually caught and disciplined. It's truly a shame these kinds of issues come to light and sully the reputation of our Agency and civil servants in general. Most of us take our jobs seriously, consider it a privilege to be civil servants, hold ourselves to higher standards than the private sector, and crap like this makes it difficult to convince other taxpayers (including ourselves) that we aren't wasting money at all levels.

The Federal government needs to make it a misdemeanor crime to purchase and personally use (or have someone else use) any personal items,
not clearly authorized by rules or regulations, using a government card. In addition to having criminal penalties ranging from a fine to imprisonment, a list of minimum and maxuimum disciplinary actions should be published. Watch how fast misuse goes down government wide.

I was sent to a class and was unable to charge the cost of the class which I had been authorized to do. Gov card was rejected.
This was a legitimate use of the card and it was blocked; called it a tuition. So why is this blocked and not those personal expenses?
Credit Card Abuse

I had a supervisor who bought personal items for his girl friend. The abuse was detected by our accounting department that monitored credit card usage. The employee was given 30 days to reimburse the agency and his credit card was taken away.
