Excerpt
Excerpt: In GAO?s opinion, IRS?s fiscal year 2004 financial statements were fairly presented in all material respects. Because of continuing serious deficiencies in financial systems and internal control weaknesses, however, IRS again had to rely extensively on resource-intensive compensating processes to prepare its financial statements. Due to these serious deficiencies and internal control weaknesses, in GAO?s opinion, IRS did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting (including safeguarding of assets) or compliance with laws and regulations, and thus did not provide reasonable assurance that losses, misstatements, and noncompliance with laws material in relation to the financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
