2020 Census: The Address Canvassing Test Revealed Cost and Schedule Risks and May Not Inform Future Planning as Intended

This is our final audit report conducted in support of OIG’s oversight role for the planning and implementation of the 2020 Census. The audit’s original objective was to assess the risk that the Address Canvassing Test would not accomplish its stated goals. However, after we began audit fieldwork, the Bureau removed the term “goals” from the test plan. As a result, we modified our audit objective to review the Address Canvassing Test’s cost and schedule, as well as in-field and in-office components of the test.
