By Michael S. Derby

NEW YORK (Reuters) ​-Adriana Kugler, a ‌Federal Reserve governor who abruptly resigned her ‌position in August, filed a financial disclosure form for investments that the central bank’s ethics ⁠officer declined ‌to certify.

The form filed with the Office of Government ‍Ethics and made public on Saturday noted inadvertent trading activity by Kugler’s ​husband that was forbidden under ‌central bank ethics rules.

Issues with her spouse’s trading came up in her annual disclosure released last year. The document ⁠released on Saturday,​ first reported by ​the New York Times, also noted that the matter ‍had ⁠been referred to the Fed’s Inspector General, an in-⁠house watchdog.
