The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration announced it has joined the National Fraud Detection Center, a new federal initiative led by the Department of Justice to detect and dismantle complex fraud schemes.
TIGTA will commit dedicated analysts and investigators to the center, which serves as a centralized collaborative space for federal law enforcement, Inspector General offices, and state partners.
"TIGTA has a long-standing record of working with the Department of Justice and other federal law enforcement partners when our missions intersect," said John Kirk, TIGTA's Deputy Inspector General for Investigations. "We look forward to strengthening that collaboration through the NFDC and contributing TIGTA's investigative expertise to efforts to detect and eliminate fraud."
