Deactivating Government Charge Cards After Employee Separation
New regulations aim to enhance public financial security by mandating the immediate deactivation of government-issued charge cards (purchase, travel) upon an employee's departure from an agency. This measure will reduce the risk of misuse and improper allocation of public funds, ultimately leading to better taxpayer money management.
Key points
Mandatory return and immediate deactivation of government charge cards when an employee leaves an agency.
Requirement to remove cards from digital wallets and electronic devices owned by the departing employee.
Annual reports on issued and deactivated cards, and controls over their use, increasing transparency in public spending.
