Northampton County Controller's office recently audited the county's P-Card program, which essentially is a county credit card issued to some employees for purchases. The report, prepared by Auditor Amna Ehsan and approved by Controller Tara Zrinski, was generally positive. All approved transactions had the required receipts. There is no evidence that anyone tried to circumvent the P-Card program. And no retired or resigning employees remained in possession of a card. The Controller did, however, raise a red flag about high dollar purchases (over $5,000).
Of 16 high dollar purchases (over $5,000), 15 lacked the required quotes. They were for legitimate purposes.
