General Accounting Office









Potential Problem With Federal Tax

System Postemployment Conflicts Of

Interest Can Be Prevented



In the U.S. tax system, the Departments of
Justice and the Treasury, including the Inter-
nal Revenue Service, have done little to admin-
ister post-Federal employment restrictions
which are designed to prevent potential con-
flicts of interest.

Hundreds of Government tax attorneys and
accountants may have entered private prac-
tice without being adequately informed of
these restrictions on their future activities in
tax matters, and Justice, Treasury, and IRS
have not taken enough action to prevent post-
employment conflicts of interest.

The agencies need to (1) inform employees of
the restrictions before they leave Government
service, (2) develop postemployment manuals
which contain the information that former
employees need to comply with the restric-
tions, (3) determine and establish the level
of enforcement needed to reasonably ensure
that the restrictions are not violated, and (4)
enforce compliance.
