Oversight and audits for Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation
This bill would add the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation to the federal Inspectors General system, making the corporation subject to OIG oversight. It would authorize appropriations of "such sums as may be necessary" to fund the corporation's Office of Inspector General, though Congress would still need to pass actual appropriations. The bill would require annual external audits of the corporation's accounts that follow generally accepted auditing standards and are done by certified public accountants. It would also bar the OIG from taking on the corporation's program operating duties, including organizational assessments and grantee oversight. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
