Office of Audit
How do you decide what to audit?
In constructing our Audit Plan, we focused on the projects that provide Postal Service management with valuable information they need to address the emerging strategic issues and management challenges they are facing. We look at the major risks facing the Postal Service and propose audits based on these perceived risks and stakeholder concerns, as well as follow up reviews of previously audited areas with significant control weaknesses.
