Auditor’s office presents semiannual procurement-card review; intern outlines p‑card usage and vendor patterns
Summary
An intern from the auditor’s office presented a semiannual procurement card (p‑card) audit showing rising p‑card transactions and top vendors; the report was placed on file and staff noted p‑card spending is increasing year‑to‑date.
The Kane County auditor’s office presented a semiannual audit of government procurement-card (p‑card) activity on July 23; the audit was prepared and presented by an auditing intern as part of the office’s internship program. The intern reported that for the six-month fiscal period p‑card purchases totaled $984,342.12 across 3,730 transactions, and that the sheriff’s department accounted for the most purchases by volume. Amazon and several other vendors were listed among the highest‑use vendors. The audit noted p‑card spending has increased compared with prior years and projected that year‑end totals may exceed 2024 levels if the trend continues. Chair Leonard thanked the intern; the auditor’s written report was placed on file and staff offered to answer follow-up questions. Ending: Committee members had no immediate questions; the audit’s findings will inform procurement and finance staff as they monitor card usage going forward.
