Sen. Elizabeth Warren asked the Federal Reserve’s inspector general to investigate the Fed’s decision to hire an outside firm to review Silicon Valley Bank’s 2023 failure, citing possible waste and procurement conflicts. The Fed and its inspector general declined to comment.
In a Tuesday letter, Warren asked the Federal Reserve’s Office of Inspector General to investigate the outside review of Silicon Valley Bank’s 2023 failure. She said earlier audits had already been conducted and questioned whether the contract followed the Fed’s procurement and conflict-of-interest policies because the firm was connected to former Fed Vice Chair Randy Quarles.
