Stamps, Money Orders, and Cash – Las Vegas, NV, James Brown Jr. Station

Background

The Las Vegas, NV, James Brown Jr. Station is in the Nevada – Utah District of the WestPac Area. This audit was designed to provide U.S. Postal Service management with timely information on potential financial control risks at Postal Service locations.

OIG data analytics identified this site as having large retail floor stamp inventory count shortages and one overage from October 1, 2019 through April 30, 2021. Retail associates who work at window services are not assigned a stamp stock inventory and instead work from a shared retail floor stamp inventory.

The objective of this audit was to determine whether the James Brown Jr. Station properly accounted for stamps, money orders, and cash.
