“GSA Transportation Audits Division maintains a central repository of electronic transportation billing records for legal and auditing purposes. Therefore, to comply with the Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-23-07, GSA now requires agencies to submit their payment documentation for a post payment audit via the Transportation Audits Management System (TAMS). Other documents that may need to be sent to GSA Transportation Audits Division will only be accepted electronically via email. * * * ”
