17-1. Program Metrics

a. A/OPCs have several reporting tools that enable them to manage their purchase program effectively through the bank’s EAS. Most electronic reports are updated within two to three days after a transaction. However, some reports are only updated at the end of the billing cycle. A/OPCs will have access through the EAS to monitor account holder transactions at any time. By searching by account holder name or account number, A/OPCs can track account holder transactions (e.g., transactions, payments, disputes), as well as view account holder monthly statements. A/OPCs may also contact the bank’s customer service at any time to request information on a specific account.

b. Program metrics will be implemented in each contracting office to provide the SCO, A/OPCs, and key Army officials with an assessment of the risk environment and feedback as to whether card programs are satisfying overall strategic goals. All A/OPCs will utilize the reports identified in Table 17-1 and 17-2 to review performance metrics and identify any systemic deficiencies requiring corrective action(s).

c. A/OPCs should maximize utilization of reports available on the GPC Business IT systems web sites such as the IOD and AXOL. The reports can assist with conducting periodic and annual surveillance inspections along with overall GPC Program management. Many reports are available through the servicing bank’s EAS, IOD, and PIEE system to assist A/OPCs in the management and oversight of the GPC program. In addition to reviewing these reports, A/OPCs at all levels should perform and maintain certain metrics to assess the performance of their program. These metrics include, but are not limited to, the following:
