Website of the Month: Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration

Susan B. Anders, PhD, CPA

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) provides independent oversight of IRS activities in order to promote economy, efficiency, and integrity in tax law administration. Its homepage, http://www.treasury.gov/tigta, provides public access to highlights and reports resulting from TIGTA's audit and investigation activities. TIGTA also produces semiannual reports for Congress, press releases for the general public, and the Inspector General's written testimony before Congress. Its three major operational lines are audit, investigations, and inspections and evaluations; links located in a menu bar at the top of the homepage provide additional resources on these activities.
