GAO Report on Abuse of Government Credit Cards

From the New York Times: "Federal employees charged millions of dollars for Internet dating, tailor-made suits, lingerie, lavish dinners and other questionable expenses to their government credit cards over 15 months, Congressional auditors say."

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued the report yesterday: "Governmentwide Purchase Cards: Actions Needed to Strengthen Internal Controls to Reduce Fraudulent, Improper, and Abusive Purchases."
