Fed's Auditors Cite Repeated Internal Control `Deficiencies'
une 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve, a top regulator of the nation's banks, has been rebuked by auditors for a third time in two years for flaws with its internal controls.
The Government Accountability Office, a congressional watchdog agency, reported ``deficiencies'' this week in computer security at the Fed's 12 regional banks. Deloitte & Touche LLP cited ``a significant deficiency'' in computer access, according to the Fed's 2007 annual report provided to Congress in April. KPMG LLC found weaknesses in financial reporting the prior year.
``The Board still has work remaining to fully implement its information security program,'' Coleman said in an annual report to the board in September noting several ``control deficiencies.''
`Poor Example'
In the 2006 annual report, KPMG LLC also cited a ``significant deficiency'' in controls. The auditor said some accounts payable transactions and prepaid expenses had been recorded for incorrect years. The auditor urged the Fed to ``strengthen its policies and procedures.''
Fed spokesman Skidmore said the Fed had enhanced its controls in response to the audit. ``The recommendations were in fact implemented,'' he said.

Le groupe de tabac franco-espagnol Altadis pourrait annoncer la suppression d'un "millier d'emplois" en France, selon les syndicats. Un comité d'entreprise extraordinaire (CE) est prévu, jeudi 19 juin, à Paris. L'ancienne Seita devenue Altadis en 1999 après son mariage avec l'espagnole Tabacalera, a été racheté en janvier par son concurrent britannique Imperial Tobacco.
"Chaque fois qu'une grosse entreprise rachète une autre, obligatoirement cela entraîne des réorganisations, des restructurations et cela veut dire des fermetures et des suppressions d'emplois", a déploré, mercredi, Jean-Marie Roux, élu CGT au CE européen du fabricant de tabac. "Ce sont des rumeurs, mais ils ont commencé à préparer les salariés psychologiquement en disant que ça va être très important comme restructuration", a-t-il indiqué, confirmant ainsi les informations parues mercredi dans Les Echos. "On parle de 1 000 à 1 200 suppressions d'emplois, dont 80 % au siège parisien, et de la fermeture des sites de Metz et Strasbourg"

Le club des pays qui ont une inflation à deux chiffres a "accueilli" deux nouveaux membres en 2007. Ils sont désormais douze - parmi eux, la Russie, la Turquie et le Venezuela.
Neuf des douze pays du "club de l'inflation" ont des taux d'intérêt réels négatifs - en moyenne 6,2 % de moins que les prix. L'inflation devrait s'y accroître. Par ailleurs, il peut advenir que les gouvernements s'attaquent aux symptômes plutôt qu'à la maladie, instaurant notamment des contrôles sur le prix des produits qui augmentent alors... plus vite

Like most long-time homeowners, Dan and Jody Dollar have built up quite a lot of equity in their Newbury Park, California, home.
They've lived in the house for 24 years, come close to paying off the mortgage, and watched its value go up from $160,000 to almost $700,000.
That was equity they wanted to tap to pay off the family cars and buy some new equipment for Dan's physical therapy practice.
But they didn't want to get into a costly reverse mortgage.
Instead, the Dollars signed up for a relatively new product called a Rex Agreement.
It gave them $117,000 in cash to spend however they wanted, and they owe no payments until they sell the house.
At that time, they'll owe Rex & Co. the $117,000 plus half of the appreciation in their home's worth between the time they signed the agreement and the time they sell the house.
If the house goes down in value, Rex & Co. will eat half of that loss as well.
Since they signed the agreement last October, prices in their neighborhood have dropped.

Able Shares Plunge After Company Ordered to Stop Misleading Ads

The shares fell 13 percent to 1,170 yen as of 9:59 a.m. on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, the biggest drop since September 2001.

Lehman's Rieder Brought $5 Billion of Assets to Fund
June 18 (Bloomberg) -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. invested in former trader Rick Rieder's new hedge fund and sold it about $5 billion of assets, positioning the investment bank to profit from the stakes while shrinking its own balance sheet.
Lehman, the fourth-biggest U.S. securities firm, is a minority investor in the fund, called R3 Capital Partners, Rieder said. He declined to say how much money he raised from his former employer or outside investors. Lehman spokeswoman Kerrie Cohen declined to comment.
``These are assets we feel very comfortable with,'' Rieder, 46, said in an interview today. ``They have terrific potential for great returns. Just like other shareholders, Lehman will benefit from the returns we'll make going forward.''
New funds from Fidelity and Vanguard offer retirees a way to tap their nest egg for monthly expenses.
(Fortune) -- Where baby-boomers go, the financial services industry follows. Too large, at 77 million people, and too affluent to be ignored, this group has been heavily wooed at every stage of life. Now, as the oldest boomers begin leaving the workforce, Fidelity and Vanguard have launched mutual funds aimed at retirees who are making the transition from saving to spending.
U.S. Slowdown, Price Increase Isn't Your Father's Stagflation
June 19 (Bloomberg) -- Stagflation just ain't what it used to be.
While economic growth has almost stalled, and surging oil prices have doubled the rate of inflation since the start of last year, structural changes in the economy since the 1970s mean the U.S. is unlikely to witness anything like the conditions that ravaged it then.
``It's a mini-stagflation,'' said Allen Sinai, chief economist at Decision Economics Inc. in New York.
