A new state audit of a purchasing-card system used by the University System of Georgia partly blames poor oversight and inadequate training for a series of abuses, which were also highlighted in another auditing report last year, the Associated Press reported today. The earlier audit of the $350-million-a-year program identified nearly 20 cases of abuse, including one employee who used a card to steal more than $300,000. The new audit of the p-card program, as it’s known, said that most transactions examined were legitimate. But it uncovered 22 more cases of possible fraud. —Andrew Mytelka
