These audits are generally more thorough than the so-called regular types of audits because of their basis in research. Matching Programs Under this type of audit the IRS would match various reporting documents, such as Forms 1099 for dividends or interest, with the income reported on the tax return.
The metric system was first proposed in 1791. It was adopted by the French revolutionary assembly in 1795, and the first metric standards (a standard meter bar and kilogram bar) were adopted in 1799. There was considerable resistence to the system at first, and its use was not made compulsory in France until 1837.
Devised by Gabriel Mouton, a mathematician, the system comprises of three base units, namely meter, gram and liter, that are determined accurately by using certain standards as a reference. The older metric system, called the CGS system, is based on seconds, grams and centimeters. In comparison, the SI system of measurement was established officially in 1960 and is similar to the MKS system, a part of the metric system that consists of meter, kilogram and seconds as the three base units that measure length, mass and time.
