Accenture Federal Services has won a $73 million contract from the Internal Revenue Service to support the agency in operating and maintaining an automated identity theft and fraud detection system.
Under the 5-year contract, AFS is supporting the IRS Return Review Program with innovative technologies and advanced analytics to verify taxpayer income, detect taxpayer fraud and ensure compliance with tax law.
“Accenture Federal Services is excited to deliver an evolved fraud detection process with fully-integrated advanced analytics to help the IRS expand anomaly detection for individual and business tax returns,” said Elaine Beeman, senior managing director and AFS civilian portfolio lead.
“Our work includes a host of enterprise modernization initiatives, including cloud architecture, automation, testing, and agile methodologies to help the IRS create more value,” Beeman said.
AFS has supported the IRS for more than four decades on many programs including the Affordable Care Act, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the Taxpayer First Act.
