RECRUTAMENTO

O Internal Revenue Service noticiou ter recrutado para os seus quadros um técnico altamente qualificado que exercia funções na PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Esta notícia surpreende porque o fluxo esperado seria o oposto, o Estado ver os seus quadros mais qualificados a serem contratados por empresas privadas que apresentem um projecto de carreira alternativo e financeiramente recompensador.

Transcrevem-se alguns excertos que constam no Issue Number IR-2008-095:

"IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman today named J. Richard (Dick) Harvey Jr. as senior advisor to the commissioner.

(...)

Harvey currently is a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he serves as the U.S. Banking and Capital Markets Team Leader. In addition to being a nationally recognized expert in financial services tax issues, he also has extensive experience in the financial accounting for income taxes, including both Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Dick Harvey brings tremendous experience and expertise on accounting and tax issues to the IRS,” said Shulman. “International and corporate tax issues are at the center of our strategic agenda. We are fortunate to have someone of Dick’s caliber working on behalf of American taxpayers.”"
