Personal Misuse of P-Card

What happened – After an employee separated, the University discovered that a p-card was used to pay for expenses associated with remodeling the employee’s home.

Break-down in controls – The employee used a subordinate’s p-card to pay for the expenses and then served as the approver.  There was no effective additional oversight.

Consequences – The department adopted additional controls.  The University referred this matter to law enforcement.
