OIG Audit: USPS Los Angeles District Unable To Account For Over $1.6 Million In Money Orders
This report presents the results of our audit of financial accountability in the Los Angeles District . We identified internal control deficiencies over stamp, money order, and cash accountability; and financial accounting and reporting. Management at three units did not properly account for 4,204 unrecorded, missing, or old style money orders valued at $1,681,600.9 Postal Service policy requires the postmaster to maintain an accurate inventory of all accountable paper within the postal retail unit. The xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx attributed these conditions to inadequately trained supervisors, frequent detail assignments, and acting manager assignments. When controls are not functioning as prescribed, there is an increased risk the Postal Service could lose cash, accountable items, and revenue without detection and misstate financial records
OIG Audit Identifies Nearly $9 Million In Unrecoverable, Unsupported Costs For Office Supplies Transactions
The Postal Service established the backdoor order entry process when it created the OfficeMax contract in January 2000. At that time, there were still a substantial number of offices without access to the Internet or the eBuy system. The backdoor process allowed these offices to mail, fax, or telephone orders to OfficeMax, who would enter the order into the system for processing and payment. Since there is no validation of purchase approval or independent certification of the invoice before payment, we identified $8,979,032 in unrecoverable unsupported questioned costs8 for the 163,446 backdoor transactions that occurred from July 2007 through June 2009
