Auditor finds shared credit cards and missing receipts at four county health facilities
Review of $86,000 in Health Services card spending found cards issued to units rather than individuals, and purchases over county limits.
County health facilities will tighten how staff use government credit cards, including issuing cards to named employees, keeping receipts, and following purchase limits. The Auditor-Controller reviewed four Department of Health Services sites, which agreed to the changes with deadlines from September 1, 2026 to December 1, 2026.
