Since its first audit of IRS's financial statements in fiscal year 1992, GAO has identified a number of weaknesses in IRS's financial management operations. In related reports, GAO has recommended corrective action to address those weaknesses. Each year, as part of the annual audit of IRS's financial statements, GAO not only makes recommendations to address any new weaknesses identified but also follows up on the status of weaknesses GAO identified in previous years' audits. The purpose of this report is to (1) assist IRS management in tracking the status of audit recommendations and actions needed to fully address them and (2) demonstrate how the recommendations fit into IRS's overall management and internal control structure https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-560/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-560.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-560/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-560.pdf GAO-06-560 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-560 Other Written Product GAO-06-560; Internal Revenue Service: Status of Recommendations from Financial Audits and Related Financial Management Reports; Financial management Financial management systems Financial statement audits Internal controls Tax administration systems Audit recommendations Corrective action Volume 116 Page 745 116 Stat. 745 Public Law 107-204
