Who audits the IRS?
Question : Who audits the IRS?
Since other agencies and corporations can get audited by the IRS, I was wondering if someone actually audits the Internal Revenue Service and all their files to make sure they are following procedure and keep accurate records. If so, who does the audit? The Department of Treasury? The CIA?

Federal Oversight Organizations
GAO
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an agency that works for Congress and the American people. Congress asks GAO to study the programs and expenditures of the federal government. GAO, commonly called the investigative arm of Congress or the congressional watchdog, is independent and nonpartisan. It studies how the federal government spends taxpayer dollars.
OMB
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assists the President in the development and implementation of budget program, management and regulatory policies. It conducts in-depth regulatory review of significant rules proposed by federal agencies as well as promotes best practices management across the federal government.
TIGTA
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) provides audit and investigative services that promote economy, efficiency and integrity in the administration of the internal revenue laws.

As a practical matter, nobody. Oh sure the GAO might go in there and kick some tires, but when they find all the outrageous wastes of resources they just start the cover up, political backscratching, etc. No matter what in the end productive people always get boned.
