I expect with the revelations the past couple days, someone in Congress may end up calling for a GAO audit as well, even with federal law requiring them to do annual audits of the IRS, their financial transactions, and adherence to following their internal processes. Their last published audit was November 2021 (the latest hasn't been published yet but am wondering in light of what happened with this "tax audit-gate" issue, whether they will need to look deeper and/or modify their previous reports).
If they are found to have done this to cover up criminal activity, well then there are statutes associated with that.
