Summary:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has not adequately stressed the need for controls to ensure the accuracy of inventory records for computer equipment and software. As a result, information needed to manage and report on these assets is not readily available. In addition, IRS lacks a system of controls to ensure the accurate accounting of large acquisitions of hardware and software and the in-house development of software it has planned under its Tax Systems Modernization effort. IRS officials, responding to the Chief Financial Officers Act's emphasis on developing more useful financial management information, plan to improve the reliability of automated data processing asset records. Having IRS' Chief Financial Officer account for and report on the agency's fixed assets would help ensure that adequate controls are implemented, further improving the reliability of information needed for managing and reporting on these assets.
