Summary:

In February 1997, GAO issued its third series of reports updating the status of government programs at risk for waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. One report in the series discussed the four long-standing high-risk areas at IRS: tax systems modernization, financial management, accounts receivable, and filing fraud. (See GAO/HR-97-8.) Another report designated five new high-risk areas, two of which have governmentwide implications and directly affect IRS operations: information security and the computer-related "Year 2000" problem. (See GAO/HR-97-9.) This testimony discusses the problems that IRS confronts in these six high-risk areas, IRS' progress in addressing them, and the steps that IRS must take to overcome them.
