Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) wants the Internal Revenue Service to immediately start working to adopt a watchdog’s recommendations to improve the security of taxpayer information.
The Government Accountability Office issued a report earlier this week that recommended 43 actions the IRS can take to fix weaknesses in security controls.
Congressional Republicans “will continue to exercise vigorous oversight to help ensure the IRS adopts all 43 GAO recommendations,” Ryan’s office said Wednesday in a blog post on the Speaker’s website.
