Fact Sheet on Irs Report: ‘Charting a Path Forward at the IRS: Initial Assessment and Plan of Action’
I don’t know, does this mean anything?
WASHINGTON - In response to the May 14, 2013 audit report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the President selected Daniel Werfel to lead the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Secretary of the Treasury then provided three objectives for Mr. Werfel’s first 30 days on the job. First, Mr. Werfel was to begin holding accountable anyone responsible for improper conduct described in the TIGTA audit report. Second, Mr. Werfel was to begin to implement, fully and promptly, all nine of the recommendations in the TIGTA audit report. Mr. Werfel also was to examine and correct any failures in the administration of 501(c)(4) applications that allowed this behavior to happen. Third, Mr. Werfel was to conduct a broader review to see whether the conduct reflected larger management failures and cultural issues at the IRS that require systemic change. Mr. Werfel was to take action and implement the necessary changes. Below are key findings resulting from Mr. Werfel’s 30-day review.
