Audit Program Enhancements

For the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), Soyka & Company prepared an analysis and recommendations for how the Postal Service could improve and consolidate existing environmental and health and safety auditing programs.  We performed and provided a summary of research updating the current state of the art in auditing practice, developed and articulated a method for evaluating each current auditing program component and method against best practices, and outlined a strategy and general time line for conducting a thorough review, evaluation, and synthesis of a unified auditing program.  We also developed a scoring algorithm for ranking USPS locations in terms of audit priority based upon operational attributes and compliance history.  The company then provided intensive, ongoing support to the Audit Program team leader in designing a pilot program to test different audit configurations at USPS facilities nationwide, including developing a series of electronic forms to be completed by audit team and host facility participants.
