The Internal Revenue Service’s Readiness for the 2026 Filing Season
The Reports Consolidation Act of 2000 requires the Executive Branch Inspectors General to identify and report annually on the top management challenges facing their agencies.

This report is contained in the CPSC’s Annual Financial Report which also contains the complete set of financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, and required supplementary and other information. KPMG found that the CPSC received a qualified or clean opinion. However, the agency was found to have two material weaknesses, first identified in FY 2023; and one significant deficiency.
Due to the risk of harm to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) from the loss or breach of private information held by a third party, we performed an audit of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee’s (BCBST) security controls. Our audit objective was to determine if BCBST has controls in place to meet contract requirements for the protection of data held by the vendor on behalf of TVA.
We determined that BCBST has controls in place to meet the contract requirements for the protection of data held on behalf of TVA. However, we identified wording in the contract that could be improved to avoid potential confusion. TVA management agreed with our finding and incorporated improvements into the contract amendment effective January 1, 2026.
