The Internal Revenue Service announced the publication of its Agency Financial Report for fiscal 2026, describing the agency’s financial position and its focus on accountability and transparency, according to the IRS.
The IRS said it received unmodified audit opinions on its financial statements and on internal control over financial reporting from the Government Accountability Office for the 27th year in a row. The agency said this indicates its financial data are presented fairly under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
“Strong financial management is central to public trust,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. He said the IRS collects revenue for the nation and delivers refunds and other services to taxpayers, and that the report reflects accountability, transparency and responsible stewardship.
Earlier this year, the IRS said it received its fourth consecutive Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting, or CEAR, which the agency described as issued by the AGA, an association of government accountants. The IRS also said it won a Best-in-Class CEAR award for its discussion of enterprise risk management, and included praise from the AGA stating the discussion was “insightful and compelling.”
The news release carries a Washington dateline and is dated Nov. 12, 2026. The IRS said the full report is available as Publication 5456, Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2026, and that prior reports are available on IRS Financial Reports.
