WASHINGTON—The second-ranking U.S. Treasury official told senators on Tuesday that the agency would hold International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva accountable for changes needed to safeguard IMF integrity in the wake of a World Bank data-rigging scandal.

“We did not find that it was appropriate at this point to remove the (IMF) managing director,” Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told a U.S. Senate Banking Committee hearing.
