CFPB Staff Reimbursed for Non-Work Expenses

American Banker reports that the CFPB’s inspector general found that some employees used their government funded travel cards for personal use, while others were reimbursed for expenses incurred while on personal leave during official travel.

The report found that the CFPB’s travel program lacks controls to prevent unauthorized use and that its policies are outdated and do not explicitly define personal use.The travel office also does not have an efficient process to identify improper purchases, the report found.
