Mr. Morisy:

I am processing over 75 Reports of Investigation and I hope to make a release to you within the next week or two.

For information, I have been advised by the Office of Audit that a recent media article misrepresented our audit report #FT-AR-12-014 Travel Expense Reimbursements and Travel Card Usage. Audit findings did not show that the Postal Service overpaid more than $1 million in travel reimbursements to employees during an 18-month period. Page 3 of the OIG report states, “Overall, the Postal Service overpaid $19,198 in travel expenses for air and rail transactions improperly claimed. Without a method to ensure canceled tickets are not claimed in eTravel, the Postal Service is at risk of overpaying travel expenses by $913,803 for the 2,016 air and rail transactions that had a full refund. (‘At risk’ means that the Postal Services could lose up to xxx amount if all controls fail. It is more of a theory number, not an actual number).

This report may be located in the document library on the USPS OIG FOIA website at: www.uspsoig.gov.

A cover letter granting the request and outlining any exempted materials, if any.

A copy of documents responsive to the request.
