Ron Paul and sanders both wanted the same thing. Bernie watered down Pauls audit bill that year because it was going to fail to pass again just like it had every other year. With this amended version we at least had the Fed disclose how it lent trillions of dollars during the financial crisis of 2008.
The Bill has failed to pass since then and will continue that course until we elect non-corrupt officials.

Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 - Repeals the authority of the Comptroller General to carry out an onsite examination of an open insured bank or bank holding company only if the appropriate federal regulatory agency has consented in writing.

Directs the Comptroller General to complete, before the end of 2010, an audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of the federal reserve banks, followed by a detailed report to Congress.
TL;DR Basically the same thing before amendments.
