Tax Systems Modernization: Results of Review of IRS' August 2000 Interim Spending Plan

[摘要] A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has tried unsuccessfully to modernize its information systems. To prevent a repeat of past mistakes, Congress legislated explicit controls over IRS spending on systems modernization. Congress did so by creating Senate and House appropriations subcommittees, which specified four conditions. IRS has satisfied some, but not all, of the conditions set out by its appropriations subcommittees; however, it has moved aggressively and made important progress in advancing many projects and addressing modernization management weaknesses. Until these weaknesses are fully addressed, key controls will be missing, thereby increasing the risk that projects will not perform as intended or cost more and take longer to complete."
