IRS announces rollout of 11 Large Business and International compliance campaigns

 

Nov. 3, 2017

Eleven compliance campaigns

The IRS Large Business and International division has announced the identification and selection of 11 additional compliance campaigns. LB&I had announced on Jan. 31, 2017, the rollout of its first 13 campaigns to be implemented. LB&I continues to move toward issue-based examinations and a compliance campaign process in which the organization decides which compliance issues that present risk require a response in the form of one or multiple treatment streams to achieve compliance objectives. This approach makes use of IRS knowledge and deploys the right resources to address those issues.

The campaigns are the culmination of an extensive effort to redefine large business compliance work and build a supportive infrastructure inside LB&I. Campaign development requires strategic planning and deployment of resources, training and tools, metrics and feedback. LB&I is investing the time and resources necessary to build well-run and well-planned compliance campaigns.

These 11 additional campaigns were identified through LB&I data analysis and suggestions from IRS compliance employees. LB&I's goal is to improve return selection, identify issues representing a risk of non-compliance, and make the greatest use of limited resources.

The 11 campaigns selected for this rollout are:

These campaigns represent the second wave of LB&I's issue-based compliance work. More campaigns will continue to be identified, approved and launched in the coming months.
