INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE: Improving Adequacy of Information Systems Budget Justification

Abstract

On April 9, 2002, we testified before the Subcommittee on Oversight, House Committee on Ways and Means, on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) fiscal year 2003 budget request. In brief, we reported that although IRS had adequately justified its $450 million Business Systems Modernization request, it did not develop its $1.63 billion information systems (IS) operations and maintenance request in accordance with the best practices of leading private and public-sector information technology (IT) organizations. This report officially transmits both the results we reported and the recommendation we made to you in our testimony, Before our testimony, we discussed the results of our work with IRS officials, and they agreed with our findings and recommendation. We performed our work from February through April 2002, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.
