Priority Mail Express Service Performance Costs in the Caribbean District
Priority Mail Express, formerly known as Express Mail, is the fastest mail service the Postal Service offers. It provides guaranteed 1-day or 2-day expedited shipping service for any mailable matter and provides customers with refunds when not delivered by the guaranteed service arrival time. The Postal Service has the authority to adjust the guaranteed 1-day or 2-day delivery commitment for Priority Mail Express in the point-of-sale system upon the request of district personnel. The Caribbean District, which includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, accounted for 22 percent of Priority Mail Express refunds issued in the Northeast Area. Between March 2018 and February 2019, about 168,000 Priority Mail Express pieces originated in the Caribbean District. During this period, the district issued the highest amount of Priority Mail Express refunds of all Postal Service districts nationwide.

The Office of Inspector General is required by statute to report annually the most serious management and performance challenges facing the Department of Commerce. Attached is our final report on the Department’s top management and performance challenges for fiscal year 2020.
What We Looked AtWe queried and downloaded 81 single audit reports prepared by non-Federal auditors and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse between June 1, 2019 and August 31, 2019, to identify significant findings related to programs directly funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT).What We FoundWe found that reports contained a range of findings that affected DOT programs. The auditors reported significant noncompliance with Federal guidelines related to 11 grantees that require prompt action from DOT's Operating Administrations (OA). The auditors also identified questioned costs totaling $1,005,222 for three grantees.RecommendationsWe recommend that DOT coordinate with the impacted OAs to develop a corrective action plan to resolve and close the findings identified in this report. We also recommend that DOT determine the allowability of the questioned transactions and recover $1,005,222, if applicable.
