| Summary |
PPACA is a significant effort for IRS, with expected costs of $881 million from fiscal years 2010 to 2013 and work planned through 2018. To implement PPACA, IRS must work closely with partner agencies to develop information technology systems that can share data with other agencies. Additionally, IRS is responsible for providing guidance to taxpayers, employers, insurers, and others to ensure compliance with new tax aspects of the law. Furthermore, it will be important for IRS to have systems to consistently identify, assess, mitigate, and monitor potential risks to the program's success. As requested, this report (1) describes IRS's progress in addressing GAO recommendations from June 2011 on PPACA implementation, (2) assesses IRS's revised risk management plan, and (3) assesses how IRS applies its plan in practice. GAO compared IRS's revised risk plan to GAO's criteria for risk management and selected 9 provisions of the law in which IRS had a role to determine whether IRS used the risk plan consistently. Because selection focused on provisions that had the most risks and highest dollar impacts, the results are not generalizable but are relevant to how IRS managed risks. |
