Reporting Fraud

You must report all indicators of fraud. Identify the responsible official(s) and report them through the proper channels. You can make reports to any of the following as appropriate:

  • Your Approving Official
  • Your A/OPC
  • Your Paying/Finance Officer
  • Your Office of the Inspector General (call the hotline), or Office of Special Investigations (for Defense agencies)

Notice: Any intentional use of the government purchase charge card for other than official government business is considered an attempt to commit fraud against the U.S. Government and may be cause for disciplinary actions. The cardholder is held personally liable to the government for the amount of any non-government transaction. Under 18 U.S.C. 287, misuse of the purchase charge card could result in a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to five years or both. Military members who misuse the purchase charge card may be subject to court martial under 10 U.S.C. 932, UCMJ Art. 132.
