handle is hein.gao/gaobacjzw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UntdStates General Accounting Office (3 O Washington, D.C. 20548 Comptroller General of the United States B-248189 April 2, 1992 The Honorable Donnald K. Anderson 146339 Clerk of the House of Representatives Dear Mr. Anderson: On March 24, 1992, you requested that we perform a limited review of cash and cash management procedures in effect at the House Post Office, which is operated by employees of the House of Representatives. This letter presents the results of that work. We limited our work to a review of cash and cash equivalents on hand and certain cash management procedures. Accordingly, the scope of our work was not sufficient to identify all potential problems relating to the operation of the House Post Office and would not necessarily disclose any or all instances of possible fraud. Our review included an unannounced cash count at the office of the Acting Director of Accountable Papers and the five House Post Office substations on March 26 and 27, 1992. However, we could not complete our cash count and reconciliation because we were unable to determine how much one key Post Office official was accountable for and because a key for a substation Chief Clerk's cash drawer was not available. In addition to the cash count, we examined certain Post Office documents, made limited inquiries of Post Office employees, and analyzed certain Post Office cash management procedures and practices. A major concern, based on our limited review, is that current management personnel do not seem to have the skills needed to adequately conduct the financial aspects of daily postal operations. We also are concerned that (1) certain management and internal controls that should be in place to minimize the risk of loss are lacking and (2) the existing controls are not working properly.
