What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The North Dakota Development Fund is under scrutiny following a performance audit. The audit found insufficient documentation regarding how potential conflicts were identified for financing given to five entities connected to two fund board members. The North Dakota Ethics Commission subsequently opened an inquiry into the fund's conflict of interest policies. Amid this scrutiny, the legislature recommended transferring the fund's assets to the Bank of North Dakota.
