kcjenkins Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 In an annual review, only two IRS violations of Fair Tax Collection Practices were discovered, according to a recent report. The annual report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration was mandated by the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, which also established the FTCPs, which attempt to ensure that taxpayers receive fair and balanced treatment from government collection agents. In its review of cases opened after July 22, 1988, and closed during fiscal 2013, TIGTA identified two FTCP violations on the IRS Human Capital Officer Workforce Relations’ Automated Labor and Employee Relations Tracking System. Both involved revenue officers who contacted taxpayers directly, instead of contacting the taxpayers’ power of attorney. The IRS admonished both employees. TIGTA made no recommendations, but key IRS management officials reviewed the report and agreed with its facts and conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm glad for the good news, but have to smile at that group name. Only a government agency would ever name a group the "Human Capital Officer Workforce Relations’ Automated Labor and Employee Relations Tracking System". Wonder what the nickname is? HCOWRALERTS is an interesting acronym. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrans Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm glad for the good news, but have to smile at that group name. Only a government agency would ever name a group the "Human Capital Officer Workforce Relations’ Automated Labor and Employee Relations Tracking System". Wonder what the nickname is? HCOWRALERTS is an interesting acronym. Maybe it's just me,but does there not seem to be something vaguely 'disquieting' about many of our recent acronyms and initialisms? Something...I don't know exactly what...but somehow it puts me in mind of central Europe in the 'thirties... E.g.,consider our Department of Homeland Security and the monstrosity of the newest department listed above with this jawbusting classic from the...old days: Reichssicherheitsdiensthauptamt = Main Office for the Security Service of the Reich. Just wondering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
