Faris Fink, then top deputy in the IRS small business division, apologized to Congress for a $4.1 million Anaheim conference and said many expenditures should have been scrutinized or not incurred. Acting IRS chief Danny Werfel echoed the fault and noted an 80 percent cut in travel and training since then amid broader spending reforms and scrutiny over IRS actions against conservative groups.
