Recommendations

The Chief, Facilities Management and Security Services, should require a full physical inventory of all commission records with the objective of making the PDS a complete and accurate system of records for all non-enforcement commissions

The Chief, Facilities Management and Security Services, should attempt to determine which IRS employees may hold commissions that are not recorded in the PDS and update the PDS as needed.:

The Chief, Facilities Management and Security Services, should subsequent to the establishment of a complete and accurate record of non-enforcement commissions in the PDS, reinstate the requirement for an annual reconciliation to account for issued commissions and ensure that PDS records remain complete and accurate.

The Chief, Facilities Management and Security Services, should consider expanding the scope of the review the PCSS unit manager conducts or implement some other review to verify that the information recorded in the PDS reflects the information printed on the commission.

The Chief, Facilities Management and Security Services, should consult with Department of the Treasury officials to determine the feasibility of modifying the PDS to include all of the information printed on issued commissions.
