WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): The Internal Revenue Service, on Thursday, November 12, announced the publication of its Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2026, detailing the IRS’s sound financial position and its commitment to accountability and transparency to the American people.
For the 27th consecutive year, the IRS received unmodified audit opinions on its financial statements and its internal control over financial reporting from the Government Accountability Office. This distinction underscores the IRS’s dedication to presenting its financial data fairly and accurately in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
“Strong financial management is central to public trust,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. “The IRS carries out one of the most important financial responsibilities in government, collecting the revenue that funds the nation while delivering refunds and other services to taxpayers. This report reflects our continued commitment to accountability, transparency and responsible stewardship of public resources.”
This year’s report continues a tradition of excellence in financial reporting. Earlier this year, the IRS was honored with its fourth consecutive Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting (CEAR), the most prestigious recognition of its kind in federal government, which is issued by the AGA, an association of government accountants.
The IRS also won a Best-in-Class CEAR award for the “Outstanding Discussion of the Entity’s Enterprise Risk Management Program,” receiving the following praise from the AGA: “This agency’s discussion of its top enterprise risks over the next year was insightful and compelling. These risks were effectively integrated into the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, identifying the top risks, their potential impact, and actionable mitigation strategies. This level of candor is commendable.”
The full report is available in Publication 5456, Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2026. Prior year reports are available on IRS Financial Reports.
