WASHINGTON - Federal regulators, who are ordering
Fannie Mae to take prompt action to remedy what they say are serious
accounting problems, also have raised the possibility of removing top
managers of the giant mortgage finance company.
An eight-month-old
investigation by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight found
pervasive earnings manipulation designed to meet Wall Street’s expectations
and smooth volatility in profits from quarter to quarter. The findings
warrant “immediate remedial action,” the agency’s director said in a letter
to the Fannie Mae board members that was released Thursday. |
The real scandal at
Fannie Mae. By Daniel Gross - Slate Magazine
| Fannie Mae, the federally chartered company that buys home
mortgages and sells them as securites, is receiving a highly public
fanny-kicking. After accounting issues arose last summer at Fannie's smaller
and younger sibling,
Freddie Mac, the Office
of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight began to examine Fannie Mae's
accounting practices. The result of the probe, detailed in a 211-page
report issued last week, paints Fannie Mae as an Enron-in-the-making.

U.S. Regulators Find Accounting Failures At Housing Financier
Fannie Mae, the giant mortgage finance company, has used improper
accounting methods that raise serious questions about the quality of its
management and the validity of its financial reports, government regulators
reported yesterday.
Though it didn't quantify the effect of what it called pervasive
misapplication of accounting rules on the company's books, the report by the
Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight cited one instance in 1998
where the company inappropriately deferred $200 million of estimated expenses,
which enabled management to receive full annual bonuses. Had Fannie recorded
the expenses in 1998, no bonus would have been paid, the report said.
