Recommendations

Ensure that the 12 RRA 98 § 1204(a) violations identified by TIGTA are discussed with the responsible managers to ensure that the managers understand the guidelines related to the use of ROTERs.

Ensure that the four self-assessments that contained high-risk terms and phrases are discussed with the responsible employees and their managers so they understand IRS policy that these terms should not be used in self-assessments.

Ensure that the 12 RRA 98 § 1204(b) instances of noncompliance are discussed with the responsible managers to ensure that they understand the requirement for retention standard documentation.
