Fiscal Year 2019 Statutory Audit of Compliance With Legal Guidelines Restricting the Use of Records of Tax Enforcement Results.
The OIG fielded a nationally-representative survey of microbusiness owners and employees, hosted a moderated online discussion board and an expert panel, and conducted interviews with Postal Service employees and executives. The OIG found that while microbusinesses are generally satisfied with the Postal Service, there are opportunities to improve engagement. USPS can work to boost awareness of key products and services with microbusinesses. USPS can also harness its workforce and retail presence, including through its Employee Engagement Programs, to promote its products to microbusinesses. By addressing certain challenges and inefficiencies, USPS can ensure it is helping America’s microbusinesses thrive.

Financial differences are used to report financial adjustments for variances in financial transactions at postal retail units (PRU). Differences include inconsistencies between banking deposits and receipts, errors with transmitted sales and money order data, and stock shipments not received by the unit. OIG data analytics identified that the Nashville MOW had 71 financial difference transactions with a net value of $117,870 from July 1 through December 31, 2018, or Postal Service fiscal year (FY) 2018, Quarter (Q) 4, and FY 2019, Q1. The Nashville MOW had the fourth highest quantity of financial difference transactions but the highest amount of unresolved financial differences in the Tennessee District for the same timeframe. The objective of the audit was to determine whether financial difference transactions at the Nashville MOW were properly documented, researched, and resolved in timely manner.
