The Federal Housing Finance Agency agreed to disclose the total cost of the common securitization platform after a Dec. 15 audit by the FHFA Office of Inspector General revealed issues in transparency.The auditors said that while the FHFA committed to be transparent in its development of the multiyear project in 2014, the FHFA has not disclosed detailed costs or associated risks in its public reports. Instead, it only discloses the costs incurred though mid-2015. FHFA only disclosed specific CSP cost data once in a September 2015 status report, in which it announced that, from 2012 through mid-2015, the GSEs spent $146 million to develop the actual CSP platform. Then, their 2015 10-Ks revealed the amount increased to $218 million by year-end 2015.
