FHFA Employee Reimbursement Noncompliance Findings

FHFA OIG published Compliance Review EVL-2026-002 identifying that FHFA did not consistently comply with established policies and procedures for paying employee reimbursements and stipends. The compliance review assessed internal controls over these payment processes.

Affected parties include FHFA as an agency and its administrative/finance functions responsible for processing employee reimbursements. Government agencies processing employee payments should review their internal controls to ensure consistent application of reimbursement and stipend policies. The findings highlight the importance of regular audits of financial payment processes even for routine administrative functions.
