Department of Justice Purchase Card Expenditures Related to Hurricane Recovery Efforts, Audit Report 06-36, September 2006 (51 pages, PDF):
"In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the third most intense hurricane to hit the continental United States, government purchase cards gained notoriety for weak internal controls that could result in improper and wasteful purchases, as well as missing or stolen assets.1 As a result, the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), in coordination with the President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE), completed an audit of DOJ’s purchase card expenditures related to hurricane relief and recovery efforts."
