Recommendations

The Deputy Commissioner for Operations Support should ensure that the managers identified in this report are notified to properly designate their employees and/or themselves as Section 1204 personnel within HR Connect and ensure that the mandatory Section 1204 training is assigned and completed within 90 calendar days.

The Deputy Commissioner for Operations Support should implement an outreach strategy to ensure that employees and managers understand all responsibilities related to Section 1204. The strategy should include communications providing practical examples of the potential misuse of ROTERS based on self-reported violations, IRS Human Capital Office independent reviews, and prior TIGTA audits.
