Investigative Summary: Finding of Misconduct by an FBI Supervisory Special Agent for Violations of FBI Policies Regarding the Use, Security, and Maintenance of Firearms
The U.S. Postal Service has a substantial network of about 35,000 retail facilities, including post offices, stations, and branches. The Philadelphia Metropolitan District includes over 250 retail units with a combined retail revenue of over $175 million for fiscal year (FY) 2016. Retail and customer service operations are integral parts of the Postal Service’s ability to retain customers and ultimately generate revenue. The Postal Service aims to provide customers with a positive retail experience and efficient customer service operations. Our objective was to assess retail and customer service operations in the Philadelphia Metropolitan District. We selected this district as it was one of the most inefficient districts in the country during 2016 based on retail and customer service operation data.
CMS Did Not Provide Effective Oversight To Ensure That State Marketplaces Always Properly Determined Individuals' Eligibility for Qualified Health Plans and Insurance Affordability Programs
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) oversees implementation of health insurance provisions for the Affordable Care Act and works with States to establish marketplaces, which evaluate individuals' eligibility for qualified health plans (QHPs) and insurance affordability programs (i.e., the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions). Our prior reviews of seven State marketplaces found that not all of their internal controls were effective in ensuring that individuals were properly determined eligible for QHPs and insurance affordability programs. These deficiencies led us to review the effectiveness of CMS's oversight of State marketplaces. Our objective was to determine whether CMS provided effective oversight to ensure that State marketplaces determined individuals' eligibility for QHPs and insurance affordability programs according to Federal requirements.
This is our final audit report on the awarding of U.S. Census Bureau (the Bureau) noncompetitive contracts. Our objective was to determine whether the Bureau’s contracting personnel properly awarded noncompetitive contracts.

This is a classified report. We determined that the Office of Intelligence and Analysis continues to provide effective oversight of the department-wide intelligence system and maintains programs to monitor ongoing security practices. In addition, the United States Coast Guard is in the process of migrating its intelligence users to a system that is jointly managed by the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial Agency. However, we determined that DHS’ information security program for intelligence systems is not effective, based on the maturity model included in this year’s reporting instructions. Specifically, DHS’ continuous monitoring tools for its intelligence system are not interoperable. DHS has not documented procedures, established formal training, and instituted qualitative and quantitative measures for continuous monitoring of its intelligence systems. We made no recommendations.
