Provide Training <br />We recommend the Department of <br />Finance provide on-going training to <br />each department, including pCard <br />Coordinators, cardholders, and <br />supervisors. <br />Use Available Technology <br />We recommend Department of <br />Finance consider incorporating the <br />First Hawaiian Bank CentreSuite <br />pCard application into the FRESH <br />Invoice database, including uploading <br />and downloading pCard data, to <br />improve monitoring of pCard <br />transactions. <br />The Department of Finance provided <br />internal control, procurement, and pCard <br />training on August 30, 2016. <br />In addition, the Department of Finance <br />provides departments with one-on-one <br />and as needed training. <br />In 2015, management considered <br />incorporating various features of the <br />CentreSuite program. <br />However, due to cost constraints, they <br />elected not to incorporate these features. <br />Furthermore, the Department of Finance <br />asserted that since transactions are <br />continuously reviewed for compliance <br />with applicable laws and County policies <br />and procedures by the Department pCard <br />Coordinator and Department Head, the <br />additional costs did not merit the <br />additional benefit. <br />We believe that as long as the <br />Department of Finance continues to <br />actively monitor pCard transactions, the <br />risk will be minimized. <br />Implemented <br />Implemented <br />To corroborate that the County implemented our recommendations, we reviewed all pCard <br />transactions from August 2015 to December 2017. We selected 67 transactions totaling $24,086 <br />for further review and found that these transactions followed County policy and state law. <br />Purchasing Card Follow-up Recommendations: Status of Implementation 13 <br />
