The Federal Housing Finance Agency falsely claimed that it had developed recommended plans to assess the number and skill level of workers it needed, but an agency watchdog found that no such planning process had been enacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inspector General of FHFA determined nearly a decade ago that the agency lacked the necessary staff to conduct examinations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae \u2014 collectively known as the Enterprises \u2014 and would need to adopt a workforce planning strategy<\/a> to determine which positions were most in need to accomplish the agency\u2019s mission. The agency agreed to develop a workforce planning strategy in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite claiming to have adopted that strategy in 2014 and a reaffirmation of its importance in 2018, FHFA\u2019s Division of Enterprise Regulation failed to complete a high percentage of its planned examinations and a workforce planning process had not taken place, according to an OIG report released Feb. 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
