The IG said employees are supposed to examine based on the activities of the organization, not in their name and certainly not on their positions. The law is blind to POV or it should be.

If the IRS allows this to happen then it is a failure to supervise and lack of proper education.

The funny thing is government regulation has made continuing education necessary for many businesses but seems to do none of its own.
