Regulator issues report on NMFA fake audit

Published December 3, 2012 11:31pm ET

The Securities Division’s report came four days after ex-controller Greg Campbell pleaded guilty to felonies for faking the audit and misrepresenting the authority’s finances to investors who bought the agency’s bonds earlier this year.
