IRS Commissioner, Doug Shulman, on Monday named J. Richard Harvey Jr. as Senior Advisor to the Commissioner. Harvey will assume his post on 2nd September.

In addition to being a nationally recognized expert in financial services tax issues, he also has extensive experience in the area of 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,” Shulman announced, adding:

“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.”

The senior advisor to the commissioner serves as an expert providing guidance and assistance on matters of policy and tax administration. He also will maintain a close partnership between the commissioner’s office and the business units responsible for key programs in his areas of expertise, such as the Large and Mid-Size Business Division.
