Global Positioning System for Highway Contract Routes
In June 2016, the Postal Service developed the Enterprise Transportation Analytics (ETA) system which uses GPS technology to provide near real-time visualizations and reports of Highway Contract Route (HCR) vehicles and thus enabling management to evaluate HCR compliance with contract requirements. The Postal Service also replaced its existing GPS program with a new GPS technology solution covering HCRs, Postal Vehicle Service, and leased trailers. The Postal Service planned to use the GPS program to measure HCR trailer usage, provide location visibility, estimate time of arrival, optimize travel routes, and improve service. Our objective was to assess the Postal Service’s management of Highway Contract Route (HCR) compliance with the Global Positioning System (GPS) program.

Financial Audit of USAID Resources Managed by The Centre for HIV/AIDS Prevention Studies in Multiple Countries Under Multiple Awards, October 1, 2018, to November 30, 2019
What We Looked AtThe Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) requires agencies to implement information security programs. FISMA also requires agencies to have annual independent evaluations performed to determine the effectiveness of their programs and report the results of these reviews to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). To meet this requirement, the Surface Transportation Board (STB) requested that we perform its fiscal year 2020 FISMA review. We contracted with Williams Adley & Company-DC LLP (Williams Adley), an independent public accounting firm, to conduct this audit subject to our oversight. The audit objective was to determine the effectiveness of STB's information security program and practices in five function areas--Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.What We FoundWe performed a quality control review (QCR) of Williams Adley's report and related documentation. Our QCR disclosed no instances in which Williams Adley did not comply, in all material respects, with generally accepted Government auditing standards.RecommendationsSTB concurs with Williams Adley's six recommendations.
