DOJ Press Release: Former Florida State Representative Pleads Guilty To Wire Fraud, Money Laundering, And Making False Statements In Connection With Covid-19 Relief Fraud
The U.S. Postal Service’s surface network uses highway contract routes, which are routes of travel served by contracted suppliers to transport mail between plants and other designated stops. The suppliers are expected to operate according to scheduled arrival and departure times defined in the contract. From fiscal years (FY) 2020 to 2022, the Postal Service reported that 679,407 scheduled highway contract route trips were omitted, meaning the supplier failed to run a scheduled trip. Omitted trips increased by about 129 percent from 132,158 in FY 2020 to 302,096 in FY 2022.
This report presents a summary of the results of our self-initiated audits assessing the efficiency of selected processes at three selected retail units in the Arizona–New Mexico (AZ-NM) District. These retail units include Yuma Main Office, Lake Havasu City Post Office, and Phoenix-Sierra Adobe Station in the AZ-NM District of the WestPac Area. We previously issued interim reports to district management for each of these retail units regarding the conditions we identified.
The Management and Use of Official Time final audit report, originally issued on September 16, 2022, was reissued on March 20, 2023. The report was revised to remove statements pertaining to questioned costs for official time used for representational activities. We originally developed average hourly costs for official time hours in the background section of the report for presentational purposes only, not for questioned costs as defined in the IG Act. However, these changes did not alter the finding and six recommendations made in the final report.
