IRS audit targets Philadelphia school district
From The Philadelphia Inquirer: The Internal Revenue Service has launched an in-depth audit of the Philadelphia school district's finances. One IRS document lists 28 specific areas of inquiry and seeks information on reimbursements for travel and meals, and the use of district automobiles and credit cards. Amid the audit, which focuses on calendar year 2009, the district has fired its payroll director. Eileen Pelzer was dismissed, according to sources, after senior district officials blamed her for not keeping them informed about the IRS inquiry.
