Warren and Scott Seek Fed Inspector General Salary Details Over Conflict Concerns

Senators Warren and Scott request salary information from the Fed's Inspector General amid concerns his compensation structure creates conflicts of interest.
They believe tying the IG's salary to Fed employee bonuses incentivizes downplaying wrongdoing in audits of those officials.
The senators introduced legislation to make the IG a Senate-confirmed, independent position not tied to the agency it oversees.
Their request comes amid ongoing efforts to increase accountability and oversight of the Federal Reserve following recent issues.
The senators set a deadline for detailed responses on salaries and bonuses of specific Fed officials over the past five years.
