BILLING CODE 4810–25–M

Internal Revenue Service

Privacy Act of 1974; Computer

Matching Program

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service,

Treasury Department.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of

1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) Guidelines on the Conduct of

Matching Programs, notice is hereby

given of the conduct of an Internal

Revenue Service (IRS) program of

computer matches.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This notice will be

effective July 8, 1996, unless comments

dictate otherwise.

ADDRESS: Comments or inquiries may be

mailed to: Chief Inspector, Internal

Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20224.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mary Jacqueline Greening, Internal

Auditor, Quality Assurance and

Oversight Section, Office of Planning

and Management, Office of Assistant

Chief Inspector (Internal Audit), Internal

Revenue Service, (202) 622–5911.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IRS

management is responsible for

discouraging the perpetration of

irregular or illegal acts and limiting any

exposure if an integrity breach occurs.

To accomplish its mission, the

Inspection Service assists management

in achieving this objective by enhancing

its conventional audit and investigative

activities with a program designed to

deter and detect such acts and to search

for indicators of fraud sufficient to

warrant investigation.

The Inspection Service’s Integrity

Program includes Integrity Projects,

Integrity Tests, and national or other

projects, including joint Internal Audit/

Internal Security activities, designed to

detect indicators of fraud and which

focus specifically on the deterrence and

detection of integrity breaches.

Integrity Projects are reviews or

probes of specific high risk areas or

transactions by the Inspection Service to

detect material fraud and to assess the

extent of integrity breaches that may

have occurred.

One IRS organizational strategy is to

ensure public confidence in the

integrity of the IRS by a dedication to

the highest ethical standards. One of the

ways that the Inspection Service

supports this objective is to provide IRS

management an assessment of the

organization’s ethical environment

through the Inspection Service Integrity

Program.

Computer matching is the most

feasible method of performing

comprehensive analysis of employee,

taxpayer, and tax administration data

because of the large number of

employees (seasonally varying to over

110,000), the geographic dispersion

(nationwide) of IRS offices and

employees, and the tremendous volume

of computerized data that is available

for analysis.

This program of computer matches

may be conducted in part or in its

entirety by any or all of the Inspection

Service’s offices.

Name of Source Agency:

Internal Revenue Service.

Name of Recipient Agency:

Internal Revenue Service

Beginning and Completion Dates:

This program of computer matches is

targeted to commence in June, 1996

unless comments dictate otherwise. The

program of computer matches will

conclude at the end of the eighteenth

month after the beginning date

(December, 1997).

Purpose:

The purpose of this program of

computer matches is to detect and deter

fraud, waste, and abuse in IRS programs

and operations by identifying

employees who are violating laws, rules,

or regulations related to the

performance of their duties.

Authority:

The Office of Chief Inspector was

established and provided the authority

to perform character and conduct

investigations of IRS employees

pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 321(b); sections

7801(a),7802, and 7803 of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986; 26 U.S.C. 7804

and Reorganization Plan Number 1 of

1952.

Commissioner’s reorganization Order

#Hdq–1 (July 29, 1952), IR-Mimeograph

Number 236 (December 7, 1953), and

the current provisions of the Internal

Revenue Manual (IRM) give authority to

conduct personnel investigations to the

Chief Inspector.

Internal Revenue Manual 1161

charges the Chief Inspector with

carrying out a program for assisting

management to maintain the highest

standards of honesty and integrity

among its employees.

The United States General Accounting

Office field work standards for both

performance and financial audits

require auditors to design an audit to

provide reasonable assurance of

detecting abuse of illegal acts that could

significantly affect the financial

statements, audit objectives, or audit

results.
