GOA Reports on IRS
Internal Controls
While the IRS has made significant progress in improving its internal
controls and financial management, the agency still faces many challenges,
according to the latest review by the Government Accountability Office. At
the beginning of GAO's audit of IRS's fiscal year 2006 financial statements,
72 financial management-related recommendations from prior audits remained
open because IRS had not fully addressed the issues that gave rise to them.
During the fiscal year 2006 financial audit, IRS took actions that enabled
GAO to close 25 of those recommendations. At the same time, GAO identified
additional internal control issues resulting in 28 new recommendations. In
total, 75 recommendations currently remain open. Read
highlights or the
full
report.
