The Washington Post's Josh Hicks reports that "an independent review released last month faulted the IRS for scant oversight of charities, saying the agency examined the groups less frequently while its budget and workforce steadily shrank in recent years." The Government Accountability Office found that the IRS audited 0.7 percent of charities in 2013, down from 0.81 percent in 2011. The GAO also said the the IRS has not developed a system to measure the outcome of its scant oversight.
