The Secretary of State must then publish the Report. This is normally done in July each year. The Annual Report gives a breakdown of the work done in the IRS. It contains statistics relating to the intake of cases and the review output in terms of confirmed, substituted and referred back decisions. The Commissioner reports on IRS quality assurance processes and the standards achieved by Inspectors. The IRS sets itself targets relating to our quality definition, with actual performance included in the Annual Report. The Commissioner also takes the opportunity of the Annual Report to account for the external liaison work undertaken by the IRS.
