Cash Management at the House Post Office

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO performed a limited review of cash and cash management procedures at the House Post Office. GAO noted that: (1) current management personnel do not seem to have the skills required to adequately manage the financial aspects of daily postal operations; (2) the House Post Office lacks certain management and internal controls that should be in place to minimize risk of loss; and (3) existing controls are not working properly.
