"To combat external risks from outside the firm network to the security, confidentiality, and/or integrity of electronic, paper, or other records containing PII, and improving - where necessary - the effectiveness of the current safeguards for limiting such risks, the Firm has implemented the following policies and procedures."

That sounds pretty impressive ......... and wordy. Can I just type that up and call it my security plan?😁 Besides, don't they have enough tax cheats to catch instead of spending their time seeing what kind of BS tax preparers can type up to try and make them happy?

They must have just wanted to keep your stuff safe - that link doesn't work.

Yeah you're right Iron Man. I tried it too and it didn't work from my post. But when I typed in that exact link then it did work. I'm not sure what is going on there. I couldn't paste that link to there so I typed it in. But if someone else can get that link to work then they can post it.

@IRonMaN @abctax55 @sjrcpa Try link now. I got it too work - it was cutting off url address after "creating-a" even though I typed in correct address multiple times.

@abctax55 my GSD taught me how to Snoop. Just to walk a mile with her it takes 1 hour.

I remember diagramming a lot of sentences for Mr Johnstone in 8th Grade English class. It’s a habit I can’t seem to break. Right now I’m trying to diagram this sentence:

"To combat external risks from outside the firm network to the security, confidentiality, and/or integrity of electronic, paper, or other records containing PII, and improving - where necessary - the effectiveness of the current safeguards for limiting such risks, the Firm has implemented the following policies and procedures."

The Washington Post used to have a daily feature where they published examples of the strange language spoken by bureaucrats, under the standing headline "Gobbledygook." Now, patriotic Americans are smart enough to realize that this is a plot to put so many meaningless words in our mouths that we forget how to speak English.
