Fiscal Year 2023 Officers' Travel and Representation Expenses
Our objective was to determine whether Postal Service officers complied with policies and procedures regarding travel and representation expense reimbursements. We reviewed 15 reimbursement requests for each quarter totaling $191,203.
As part of our annual audit plan, we performed an audit of costs billed to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) by The Steam Generating Team, LLC for steam generator replacement services under Contract No. 11144. Our audit objective was to determine if the craft labor and project closeout costs billed to TVA under Contract No. 11144 for steam generator replacement services were in accordance with the contract's terms. Our audit scope included about $29.2 million in craft labor costs billed to TVA from February 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023. In addition, we limited our review of project closeout costs to TVA's total project fee amount of $23 million.In summary, we determined the project closeout fee was billed in accordance with the contract's terms. However, we determined The Steam Generating Team, LLC, overbilled TVA $386,227 in craft labor costs, including (1) $361,467 in ineligible workers compensation insurance costs, (2) $20,635 in ineligible craft incentive bonus costs, and (3) $4,125 in unsupported craft labor costs.(Summary Only)
Closeout Audit of the Schedule of Expenditures of Middle East Investment Initiative, Loan Guaranty Facility (III) Program in West Bank and Gaza, Service Agreement OPIC-16-C-0014, Under Agreement 294-IA-00-15-00001, January 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019
Jason Chan, a California resident, pleaded guilty to Wire Fraud and Aiding and Abetting on November 27, 2023, in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of California. Jamar Rogers, also a resident of California, pleaded guilty to the same charge on October 10, 2023.Our investigation found that Rogers purchased Amtrak tickets with stolen credit cards and exchanged the tickets for vouchers that he then advertised for sale. Chan purchased the vouchers from Rogers at a discounted rate, used them to buy new tickets, and then sold the tickets online at a discounted price. As a result of the scheme, Rogers and Chan caused Amtrak to issue approximately $38,000 in ticket vouchers and caused losses of over $45,000 to Amtrak, card-issuing banks, and card holders.
