Yes. It's called the Federal Reserve Accountability Act, which essentially allows them to audit the TARP funds. But it wouldn't allow for as thorough an audit as 1207/604, and should therefore be opposed.

Ifall of those companies can not pay the TARP funds back does that mean they are bankrupt but have not filed?

Interesting question... I wonder what their obligations to repay the TARP money are. I'm looking into it.

TARP watchdog: Full repayment 'unlikely' - Washington Times

Looks like repayment is unlikely... I still don't know what the TARP recipients' obligations are. They seem really ill-defined if at all.
