Mark Feldstein and Associates Announces Warning to Tax Payers: Privacy Breaches have been Found within the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 10, 2013 -- After reviewing many of the leading Canadian chartered accounting firms, Business Review today lists Mark Feldstein and Associates as a top news source for its dedication to releasing the latest CRA news and announces the firm's latest advisory to Canadian tax payers: Two CRA employees violated privacy laws.
A new report shows two Canada Revenue Agency employees, one no longer with the agency and the other now having zero access to taxpayers’ information, repeatedly violated privacy laws before getting caught. Mark Feldstein and Associates has made available the CRA reports and copies of the reports were sent to PostMedia News under the access to information law. “A spokeswoman for the CRA said that the agency has enacted safeguards to ensure that taxpayers’ rights to privacy are protected, but she wasn't able to expand as to how those safeguards weren't catching the employees’ behavior earlier,” says Mark Feldstein, Founder of Mark Feldstein and Associates. “As a Toronto Accounting Firm, we strive to inform Canadian taxpayers of the latest CRA news and how they can be affected. An internal affairs investigation into the breach has assured taxpayers that no monies needed to be recouped due to the employees’ behavior.”
Complaints that CRA workers have improperly accessed confidential taxpayers’ information in recent years led the federal privacy commissioner to launch a special audit of the agency with the results due in the fall. More information about the two employees and their actions can be found here in an article published by the Canadian Press, June 16, 2013: http://www.canada.com/employees+violated+privacy+laws+reports+show/8533272/story.html.
