As required by law, IRS submitted its fiscal year 2008 expenditure plan in August 2007 to congressional appropriations committees, requesting $235.8 million from the BSM account. GAO's objectives in reviewing the plan were to (1) determine whether it satisfied the conditions specified in the law, (2) determine IRS's progress in implementing prior expenditure plan review recommendations, and (3) provide additional observations about the plan and the BSM program. To accomplish the objectives, GAO analyzed the plan, reviewed related documentation, and interviewed IRS officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-420/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-420.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-420/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-420.pdf GAO-08-420 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-420 Other Written Product GAO-08-420; Business Systems Modernization: Internal Revenue Service's Fiscal Year 2008 Expenditure Plan; Cost analysis Cost overruns Employee training Human capital management Human capital policies Information security IT human capital Program evaluation Program management Risk management Schedule slippages Strategic planning Systems analysis Systems evaluation Systems management Technology modernization programs Cost estimates Program costs Program goals or objectives Program implementation Business planning Business transformation IRS Business Systems Modernization Program Volume 121 Page 1844 121 Stat. 1844 Public Law 110-161
