What actions can the A/OPC take if a cardholder does not comply with GPC policies?

The option highlighting the ability of the Agency/Organization Program Coordinator (A/OPC) to provide additional training or recommend disciplinary measures is correct for several reasons. The GPC program is designed to ensure that all cardholders are compliant with established policies and procedures. When a cardholder fails to comply, it is important for the A/OPC to address the issue constructively to promote adherence and accountability within the organization.

Providing additional training allows the A/OPC to reinforce the policies and educate the cardholder on best practices and compliance requirements. This proactive approach helps prevent future non-compliance and can enhance the overall effectiveness of the GPC program.

Recommending disciplinary measures can also be appropriate if the non-compliance is severe or if it continues despite additional training. This demonstrates that the organization takes adherence to GPC policies seriously and is committed to maintaining integrity and accountability in its procurement processes.

In contrast, ignoring non-compliance would undermine the purpose of the program and may lead to further misconduct. Automatically revoking privileges or canceling direct deposits are extreme measures that may not address the root problem and could disrupt the cardholder's ability to perform their duties effectively. Instead, focusing on education and accountability supports a healthier compliance culture.
