TIGTA was established by the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (IRS Reform Act), which amended the Inspector General Act of 1978 (IG Act), to include an independent inspector general (IG) to provide oversight of IRS's activities, programs, and offices. This report responds to a Congressional request that we review the activities of TIGTA. We are providing information regarding (1) TIGTA's budget and staffing levels; (2) TIGTA's audit and investigative coverage of IRS, including oversight of IRS's offices and identified weaknesses in IRS's operations, and audit coverage of specific requirements of the IRS Reform Act; (3) TIGTA's audit and investigative accomplishments; (4) the quality assurance program, including the results of peer reviews; and (5) the audit follow-up process to track IRS's implementation of TIGTA's audit recommendations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-999R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-999R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-999R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-999R.pdf GAO-05-999R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-999R Correspondence GAO-05-999R; Activities of the Treasury Inspector general for Tax Administration; Agency missions Auditing standards Fraud General management reviews Internal audits Internal controls Monitoring Quality assurance Reporting requirements Tax administration Tax administration systems Inspectors general Volume 92 Page 1101 92 Stat. 1101 Volume 102 Page 2515 102 Stat. 2515 Volume 107 Page 285 107 Stat. 285 Volume 112 Page 685 112 Stat. 685 Volume 114 Page 2537 114 Stat. 2537
