Gao & Irs

Daniel talks to Frank Keith, spokesperson for the IRS, and Greg Holloway of the General Accounting Office, about a GAO study that concludes that the IRS' internal bookkeeping system is so bad that it is virtually impossible to audit them. Keith says that the IRS deals with more recipts that the top 30 Fortune 500 companies put together with computer systems designed in the 60s, and that, given their present system, it is impossible to provide auditors with the information they need.
