What could happen if a GPC cardholder makes unauthorized purchases?

When a Government Purchase Card (GPC) cardholder makes unauthorized purchases, they could face disciplinary action because such actions violate the policies and regulations governing the use of government resources. Unauthorized purchases can lead to financial discrepancies, misuse of government funds, and a breach of trust in the cardholder's role. Disciplinary action can range from reprimands and mandatory training to more severe consequences such as suspension or termination of employment, depending on the severity of the misconduct. This underlines the importance of adhering to established guidelines to ensure accountability and proper use of government assets.
