 <title>Management Report: Improvements Needed in IRS&apos;s Internal Controls</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>In November 2002, we issued our report on the results of our
audit of the Internal Revenue Service&apos;s (IRS) financial 	 
statements as of and for the fiscal years ending September 30,	 
2002 and 2001, and on the effectiveness of its internal controls 
as of September 30, 2002. We also reported our conclusions on	 
IRS&apos;s compliance with significant provisions of selected laws and
regulations and on whether IRS&apos;s financial management systems	 
substantially comply with requirements of the Federal Financial  
Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA). A separate report on 
the implementation status of recommendations from our prior IRS  
financial audits and related financial management reports will be
issued shortly. The purpose of this report is to discuss issues  
identified during our fiscal year 2002 audit regarding accounting
procedures and internal controls that could be improved for which
we do not presently have any recommendations outstanding.</abstract>
