IRS Releases Fiscal Year 2026 Agency Financial Report, Earning an Unmodified Audit Opinion for the 27th Straight Year
The Internal Revenue Service announced in Washington on November 12 that it has published its Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2026, detailing what it called a 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 from the Government Accountability Office on its financial statements and its internal control over financial reporting, a distinction the agency said underscores its dedication to presenting its financial data fairly and accurately in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano said strong financial management is central to public trust. He said 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, and that the report reflects the agency's continued commitment to accountability, transparency and responsible stewardship of public resources.
Earlier this year, the IRS was honored with its fourth consecutive Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting (CEAR), issued by the AGA, an association of government accountants, and described as the most prestigious recognition of its kind in the federal government. The agency also won a Best-in-Class CEAR award for its discussion of its enterprise risk management program, which the AGA praised as insightful and compelling, with top risks, their potential impact and actionable mitigation strategies effectively integrated into the Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The full report is available in Publication 5456, Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2026, and prior-year reports are available through the IRS financial reports page.
