Audit of the Schedule of Expenditures of Bidaya Corporate Communications, Outreach and Communication Services Project in Jordan, Contract AID-278-C-17-00002, January to December 31, 2019
Our objective was to assess the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department) progress at improving the maturity of its security program and practices as required by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA).We made 77 recommendations to improve the Department's cybersecurity posture in our FYs 2019, 2020, and 2021 reports. At the start of our fieldwork, there were 29 closed and 48 open recommendations. In FY 2022, we reviewed 38 open recommendations and found the Department took action to close 28 recommendations, with 10 remaining open. Additionally, there were another 10 open recommendations that were scheduled for implementation after the close of our fieldwork.At the completion of our FY 2022 inspection, out of 77 recommendations, 57 were closed and 20 remained open.To answer this objective, we rated the Department’s performance in accordance with OMB’s guidance on the 20 metric areas required for FY 2022. These metrics represent 20 of the 66 metrics that were used to assess the Department’s effectiveness for FY 2021. In September 2020, revision 5 of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations was issued. Usually, a 1-year period is allowed for implementation of the new requirements. With the removal of 46 metric questions, for FY 2022, we were not able to test if the Department implemented these new requirements for these questions.
This report presents a summary of the results of our self-initiated audits assessing mail delivery, customer service, and property conditions at four select delivery units in the Seattle, WA, region. These delivery units included the Parkland Branch in Tacoma, Kent Main Post Office (MPO) in Kent, Renton MPO in Renton, and Lacey Branch in Lacey. We judgmentally selected these delivery units based on the number of customer inquiries per route the unit received and Stop-the-Clock (STC) scans occurring at the delivery unit. We previously issued interim reports to district management for each of these units regarding the conditions we identified. In addition, we issued a report on the efficiency of operations at the Seattle Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC), which services these four delivery units.
