handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaebn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Office of the General Counsel B-270863 June 17, 1996 Mr. Joel Taub Acting Deputy Chief Financial Officer Department of the Treasury Dear Mr. Taub: This is in response to your request of December 11, 1995, that we grant relief under 31 U.S.C. § 3527(a), to Ms. Sylvia Wren, former Director of the Atlanta Service Center, for the loss of $3,227 in tax collections. The loss occurred as a result of embezzlement by a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employee. For the reasons stated below, relief is granted. The record indicates that the loss occurred in May of 1985 and April of 1986, when Jimmie R. Gleaton, then a clerk in the Receipt and Control Branch, Processing Division, Atlanta Service Center, received remittances for payment of taxes from two taxpayers and failed to process the funds for proper credit to the taxpayers' accounts. The remittance in May of 1985, was a check for $3,000 and the one in April of 1986, was a money order for $613. Both were made payable to the IRS. Mr. Gleaton altered both making them payable to himself and subsequently endorsed them. The loss was discovered when both taxpayers contacted the IRS to report that their check and money order had been altered. The taxpayers' accounts were credited, resulting in an irregularity in the account of the Director in the amount of $3,613. Mr. Gleaton pled guilty to embezzlement in both instances and was convicted and sentenced for the first instance on January 15, 1986, and again on December 12, 1986, for the second instance. The court ordered restitution of $3,613 and placed Mr. Gleaton on probation for four years and five years, respectively, to be served consecutively. Mr. Gleaton's probation was revoked for failure to make restitution payments and served time in jail as a result. To date, Mr. Gleaton has paid $386. Collection attempts have been unsuccessful and the IRS has determined that the balance, $3,227, is uncollectible. 245611
