IRS Special Agent
Criminal investigator agents (CI), conduct criminal investigations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), an agency of the Treasury Department. CI agents investigate financial fraud and conduct investigations when suspected violations of IRS tax code occur. Moreover, they investigate money laundering, suspected breaches of the Bank Secrecy Act, violations of the tax code, and crimes related to the currency. They specialize in four distinct areas: financial crimes related to drug trafficking, terrorism, other illegal activities, and tax evasion. CI agents have both accounting and police duties.
Technology has altered how commerce and finance are conducted as well as the investigative methods used by CI agents. Many agents possess the expertise to operate forensic software to recover evidence from computers. However, this does not imply all financial crimes are committed with computers. Agents still utilize traditional investigative methods.
