Description

  • Content Description: Correspondence issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "In November 2008, we issued our report on the results of our audit of the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) financial statements as of, and for the fiscal years ending, September 30, 2008, and 2007, and on the effectiveness of its internal controls as of September 30, 2008. We also reported our conclusions on IRS's compliance with significant provisions of selected laws and regulations and on whether IRS's financial management systems substantially comply with the requirements of the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA). Additionally, in January 2009, we issued a report on information security issues identified during our fiscal year 2008 audit, along with associated recommendations. The purpose of this report is to discuss issues identified during our audit of IRS's financial statements as of, and for the fiscal year ending, September 30, 2008, regarding internal controls that could be improved for which we currently do not have a specific recommendation outstanding. Although not all of these issues were discussed in our report on the results of our fiscal year 2008 financial statement audit, they all warrant IRS management's attention."
