For many years, the IRS has grown to help serve our community and taxpayers. Today, the Criminal Investigation Agency, also known as CI, have been working hard to better our community by tackling tax fraud and other financial crimes. The hard work and efforts of this agency are sometimes overlooked or unknown. This week, Kelly invites Don Fort, the Chief of Criminal Investigation with the IRS to explore the crucial work and educate listeners on how the CI Agency provides a backbone for us, worldwide.  

 

Learn it All Through the Chief of Criminal Investigation Himself 

As Don Fort states, “Most crimes are financially driven.” When you start to break down crime, majority of the cases are related to financial matters. This supports the facts that the CI team always has their hands full, and never stumble upon a shortage of cases. Don has been with the IRS for 29 years now, holding roughly nine leadership positions. If anyone can explain the ins and outs of the IRS, its Don. In this episode, Don and Kelly touch base on the organization itself, the cases they face and the future that lies ahead.  

 

Listen to Kelly and Don discuss more about the IRS and its organization, such as: 

The History on the Intelligence Unit and Criminal Investigation  Don’s Career path with the IRS and what lead him to Chief   Don’s successes and special stories that shaped his Career  The truths about Special Agents and Jurisdictions   All about the Academy itself  IRS initiating Cases versus being sought out for them  The Importance of Notable and Neighborhood Cases  Don’s most memorable and highlighted achievements with the IRS  The intensity and timeline of cases  CI’s Danger behind the scenes  How the Tax Code impacts the CI Agency  How to become a part of the IRS or CI team  Strong staff and worldwide successes with the Agency  What is next for CI and Don, as he meets retirement
