Tougher oversight for rescue funds

The House yesterday overwhelmingly approved adding $320 billion to the federal small-business loan fund. At the same time, the Treasury Department and the Fed vowed to crack down on companies taking advantage of rescue lifelines with new guidelines and measures to increase transparency.

Rescue funds now come with more conditions:

• The Treasury Department warned big publicly traded companies to prove that they need emergency loans intended for small businesses, after public uproar over such groups’ borrowing tens of millions from the fund. It warned that offenders would be investigated. (Several companies, including Shake Shack and the owner of Ruth’s Chris Steak House, said they would return the millions they had received.)

• The Fed said it would publish information every month on companies that used its bailout funds, including names, amounts borrowed and the interest rate charged. “This seems to me like the Fed trying to pre-empt some of the issues that really plagued them in and around the financial crisis,” Mark Spindel, the author of a book about the Fed, told The Times.
