Audit finds credit card abuse in department
Audit warns improper charges could trigger lost rebates if written off as delinquencies. As of December 1,549 former employees still held active cards. The department lacks clear disciplinary policy and is inconsistent in penalties. Employees face short suspensions, reprimands, travel restrictions, or counseling. Spokeswoman Julie Quick said cardholders were flagged and proper use stressed. New limits and cash-advance bans were introduced with zero tolerance. Policy updates by February, with some measures starting September and November.
