Book Description
An urgent critique of the biopolitical subject and omnipresent Empire. Historical conflict no longer opposes two massive molar heaps, two classes—the exploited and the exploiters, the dominant and dominated, managers and workers—between which, in each individual case, it would be possible to differentiate. The front line no longer cuts through the middle of society; it now runs through each one of us... “—from This Is Not a Program Traditional lines of revolutionary struggle no longer hold. Rather, it is ubiquitous cybernetics, surveillance, and terror that create the illusion of difference within hegemony. Configurations of dissent and the rhetoric of revolution are merely the other face of capital, conforming identities to empty predicates, ensuring that even “thieves,” “saboteurs,” and “terrorists” no longer exceed the totalizing space of Empire. This Is Not a Program offers two texts, both originally published in French by Tiqqun with Introduction to Civil War in 2001. In This Is Not a Program, Tiqqun outlines a new path for resistance and struggle in the age of Empire, one that eschews the worn-out example of France's May '68 in favor of what they consider to be the still fruitful and contemporary insurrectionary movements in Italy of the 1970s. “As a Science of Apparatuses” examines the way Empire has enforced on the subject a veritable metaphysics of isolation and pacification, “apparatuses” that include chairs, desks, computers; surveillance (security guards, cameras); disease (depression); crutch (cell phone, lover, sedative); and authority. Tiqqun's critique of the biopolitical subject and omnipresent Empire is all the more urgent as we become inured to the permanent state of exception that is the War on Terror and to other, no less intimate forms of pacification. But all is not lost. In its unrelenting production of the Same, Empire itself creates the conditions necessary for the insurrection to come.

Book Description
IRS and FMS should be commended for the extensive amount of work they accomplished in a short period of time to issue 86 million advance tax refund checks. While there are bound to be implementation issues in any effort of this magnitude, IRS responded to problems quickly so that only a small percentage of advance refund checks were affected. Although taxpayers experienced problems in reaching IRS by telephone, IRS probably did as good as it could considering the increased demand for assistance, the number of staff available, and the fact that the advance tax refund was a one time event that made it unrealistic to hire and train additional staff. Although this report discusses various implementation issues related to the advance tax refund program and the rate reduction credit, we are not recommending any specific corrective actions related to those issues. Because our review focused on the advance tax refund program, we have no basis for knowing whether the identified issues were unique to that program or more widespread and, not knowing that, we have no basis for recommending specific changes to IRS's policies or procedures. The various observations we identified in the prior section of this report should be useful to IRS if faced with similar challenges in the future. However, IRS staff who were involved in planning and implementing the advance tax refund program, including those aspects related to the rate reduction credit, are in an even better position than either us or TIGTA to assess IRS's performance and suggest alternative approaches for handling the challenges involved in such an effort. That kind of in-house assessment, while including the results of work done by us and TIGTA, could delve into details that we did not, such as IRS's testing of programming changes and its decision to not send notices to taxpayers reminding them of the amount of advance tax refund they received.

Book Description
This report examines the events leading to the qualified audit opinion on the Equality and Human Rights Commission's 2006-08 accounts and on the continuing weaknesses in the Commission's controls. The Commission took up its new powers, and those of the former Commission for Racial Equality, the Disability Rights Commission and the Equal Opportunities Commission (the Legacy Commissions), on 1 October 2007. Serious errors were made in setting up the Commission, not helped by three changes of sponsor department in the months immediately before its launch. The Commission now accepts that it was not ready for business when the doors opened on 1 October 2007 and that its set-up process, which cost £39 million, was flawed and inefficient: it did not have in place sufficient senior staff, a transition strategy, business strategy, organisation design or job descriptions. Skills gaps were filled by bringing back former employees of the CRE as consultants, even though they had all received severance payments. The Treasury, which should have been consulted about these appointments, did not grant approval retrospectively as the Commission could not prove that the re-engagements gave good value for money. This expenditure was therefore deemed irregular and the Comptroller and Auditor General issued a qualified opinion on the Commission's 2006-08 accounts. This is not the way that the Public Accounts Committee expects public bodies to be run. Strong controls need to be in place to ensure that such errors do not recur.
