Recently, a report from the Office of Inspector General of the Federal Reserve Board examined the CFPB’s practices for conducting enforcement investigations. The report made two crucial suggestions. One, it urged the CFPB Office of Enforcement to incorporate time-bound expectations for key stages into its enforcement procedure as a monitoring measure. This was due to the failure of the bureau to reach its goal to either file or resolve 65 percent of its enforcement actions within two years.
