April 1, 2016
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Office of Inspector General released five reports this week examining everything from corporate governance to examiner issues. The two reports released on March 31 focused on the board’s of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The OIG found that the there are “serious deficiencies” in the GSEs boards when it comes to managing Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s remediation efforts. The report said the board could become “no more than a bystander to management’s efforts to remediate matters requiring attention.” One of the reports also noted that while the board has made progress in overseeing cyber risk, much more needs to be done.
