FROM: KIM EVANS, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: UPDATED PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCTING INTERNAL IRS FIELD OFFICE INSPECTIONS
DISCUSSION:
There are new procedures for handling internal inspections of field offices and the handling of Federal Tax Information (FTI).
Field offices are required to submit the Internal Inspection Report/Field Office to Central Office annually. This process is now an electronic submission. Office managers will complete the electronic Internal Inspections Report for each field office at the following link: IRS Safeguards Internal Inspection Report Field Office.
Once the report is completed, signed and submitted it will be sent to the Divisional Privacy/Security Officer for approval and stored electronically. Office managers/designees retain a copy of the report in their office for seven years. All reports are available electronically. This report is used to monitor how the office handles FTI and must be received in Central Office by June 30th of each year.
Previous memo IM-53 from 2021 is now obsolete.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
