Report Description
U.S. Postal Service retail associates (RA) can use the Retail Systems Software’s No Sale administrative function to open the cash drawer, typically to exchange higher value currency for lower value currency denominations. The RA must make three selections in the system to choose the No Sale option; therefore, selection of the No Sale option is not accidental and gathers suspicion when done with frequency. Extremely high No Sale transactions may indicate dubious trends or behaviors. The objective of this audit was to identify opportunities to enhance controls used by headquarters organizations to monitor No Sale transactions.
