OIG Reviewing Omitted Trips for Audit

A federal watchdog is in the early stages of auditing how the Postal Service has handled omitted trips over the past two fiscal years. 

The U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) is reviewing trips categorized as omitted service for an audit slated for release in March, according to its website. 

The review, which began on Sept. 19, will include all omitted trips from fiscal years 2020 to 2022. 

“The Postal Service ... should be addressing irregularities, including services not provided or omitted by suppliers,” according to the description. “Our objective is to evaluate the Postal Service’s efficiency of managing HCR omitted service.” 

There is an email link included for those who “have any information or input that might be beneficial to the auditors on this topic.”
