RE: The bottom line: the OIG, not Carson, was responsible for the audit that led to the correction of over $500 billion in bookkeeping errors by HUD during the Obama administration. Carson wasn’t in office when OIG initiated the audit and the secretary has no authority over the independent IG office.

OK, the important question is STILL this — WHY DID THE PUBLIC ONLY KNOW ABOUT THIS NOW? Was it made public when it was discovered?
And here’s the next question -— Are there any consequences to the person or persons who made this error? Or are we simply going to just shrug and let him or her keep his position?
We keep asking the wrong questions.
Because the press chose not to make a big deal of it. Past OIG reports and audits aren't secret, just buried in a mountain of public information.
-- Are there any consequences to the person or persons who made this error? --
It's not one error, it is thousands of errors, made by thousands of people. Some of it is fraud, probably 20% of that is caught.
