Excerpt: “The Internal Revenue Service Whistleblower Office released its first-ever multi-year operating plan outlining guiding principles, strategic priorities, recent achievements and current initiatives to advance the IRS Whistleblower Program. … The operating plan is framed around six strategic priorities:
- Enhance the claim submission process to promote greater efficiency.
- Use high-value whistleblower information effectively.
- Award whistleblowers fairly and as soon as possible.
- Keep whistleblowers informed of the status of their claims and the basis for IRS decisions on claims.
- Safeguard whistleblower and taxpayer information.
- Ensure that our workforce is supported with effective tools, technology, training and other resources.
Within these six strategic priorities, there are 38 initiatives addressing short-term and long-term focus areas to advance the program. Some of the initiatives will require completion of detailed, specific activities while other initiatives are broad.”
