Report Link GETTING TO KNOW “GINA”.Shaw Valenza LLP - March 16, 2010 There’s a new kid on the block in the anti-discrimination arena, and her name is GINA.

The IRS will audit 6000 companies in total over the next three years. The main issues to be examined in these audits are worker classification, executive compensation and taxable fringe benefits.
