Resolution Trust Corporation Completion Act - (Sec. 2) Amends the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (FHLBA) to repeal the expiration date for the authority of the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) to use previously appropriated funds to resolve institutions in default.

Conditions the availability of funds in excess of specified amounts upon certification by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Congress that the RTC is in compliance with this Act.

Limits the use of appropriated funds solely for purposes of protecting insured depositors or the administrative expenses of the RTC. Forbids the use of such funds for the benefit of shareholders of an insured depository institution in default.

(Sec. 3) Requires the RTC to institute specified management reforms, including: (1) establishment of a comprehensive business plan; (2) marketing of real property assets on an individual basis for a certain period before disposing of them on a portfolio basis or including them in a multiasset sales initiative; (3) specified procedures for RTC disposition of real-estate related assets; (4) a division of minorities and women's programs; (5) a chief financial officer; (6) revised applicant appraisal procedures for future task ordering agreements; (7) specified measures with respect to its contracting systems and contractor oversight responsibilities; (8) an audit committee to monitor its financial operations and asset disposition operations; (9) an assistant general counsel for professional liability; (10) management information system; and (11) internal controls against fraud, waste, and abuse.

Requires the RTC to: (1) disclose its expenditures in detail, as well as the compensation paid to senior personnel of any depository institution under receivership or conservatorship; (2) establish minority and women-owned business contract parity guidelines; and (3) implement a process for non-defaulting business and commercial borrowers to appeal any of its decisions (when acting as a conservator) which would adversely affect their credit transactions.

Requires the Comptroller General to study and report to the Congress on: (1) RTC compliance with the management reform required by this Act; and (2) RTC transfers of performing assets.

(Sec. 4) Amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA) to extend retroactively from three years to five years the statute of limitations for certain tort actions brought by the RTC as conservator or receiver of a failed savings association (or the period under State law, whichever is longer). Designates the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as successor to the RTC.

(Sec. 5) Amends the FHLBA to limit the amounts of performance-based cash awards for FTC and Oversight Board employees. Proscribes compensation that exceeds that of the RTC chief executive.

(Sec. 6) Directs the FDIC and the RTC to establish an interagency transition task force to facilitate the transfer to the FDIC of RTC operations and personnel with respect to the FSLIC Resolution Fund.

(Sec. 7) Accelerates the RTC termination date from 1996 to 1995.

(Sec. 8) Amends the FDIA to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to the SAIF any amounts needed to cover losses incurred in FY 1994 through 1998.

(Sec. 9) Extends the moratorium on conversion transactions (the change of status between Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) members and SAIF members) to before the later of the end of the five-year period beginning on August 9, 1989, or the date on which the SAIF first meets or exceeds a mandated reserve ratio.

(Sec. 10) Declares that neither BIF members, nor SAIF members, shall be required to repay funds borrowed by the FDIC to aid the sister fund.

(Sec. 11) Precludes either the BIF or the SAIF from being used to benefit the shareholders of an insured depository institution in connection with any type of resolution by either the FDIC or the RTC in their respective capacities as conservator or receiver.

(Sec. 12) Amends the FHLBA to increase, subject to appropriations, the maximum dollar limits for condominium and single family properties eligible for the RTC affordable housing program.

(Sec. 13) Amends the FDIA to include within the FDIC affordable housing program properties acquired by the FDIC in its capacity as sole owner of certain subsidiaries of a depository institution under conservatorship or receivership.

(Sec. 14) Amends the FHLBA and the FDIA to direct the RTC and the FDIC to: (1) notify clearinghouses within a reasonable time that they have acquired title to residential property ineligible for the affordable housing program; and (2) give preference to purchase offers intended to provide housing for the homeless.

Establishes the Affordable Housing Advisory Board to advise the Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight Board and the Board of Directors of the FDIC on affordable housing policies and operations. Terminates the National Housing Advisory Board.

Amends the FHLBA and the FDIA to direct the RTC and the FDIC to provide information on the availability of seller financing to minority- and women-owned businesses and nonprofit organizations engaged in providing affordable housing.

Amends the FHLBA to: (1) direct the RTC to implement for a designated period the administrative responsibilities of the FDIC with respect to the Affordable Housing Program; and (2) reassign such duties to the FDIC at the start of FY 1995.

Amends the FDIA to direct the FDIC, in FY 1995, to establish an Affordable Housing Program Office to implement such Program with respect to eligible residential and condominium properties not disposed of by the RTC. Limits the liability of the RTC and the FDIC with respect to the disposition of assets for which they have respectively been appointed conservator or receiver.

(Sec. 15) Amends the FHLBA and the FDIA to authorize the RTC and the FDIC, respectively, to offer the right of first refusal to purchase single family property to the household residing in it.

(Sec. 16) Amends the FHLBA and the FDIA to direct the RTC and FDIC, when selling real property, to give, among substantially similar offers, preference to those that would use the property to provide housing for the homeless.

(Sec. 17) Amends the FHLBA and the FDIA to authorize the RTC and the FDIC to sell in an expedited manner eligible commercial real properties to public agencies and nonprofit organizations for affordable housing programs.

(Sec. 18) Amends the FHLBA to direct member banks to: (1) implement a housing opportunities hotline program to provide information regarding opportunities to purchase single-family properties held by Federal agencies located in the member bank's district; and (2) establish a toll-free telephone line to disseminate such information.

(Secs. 19 and 20) Amends the FDIA to apply Federal criminal law and conflict of interest provisions to the FDIC and its contractors. Directs the FDIC Board of Directors to prescribe regulations regarding: (1) conflicts of interest and ethical responsibilities; (2) procedures for ensuring minimum standards of competence, experience, and integrity for its contractors; and (3) proscriptions against the sale of assets of a failed institution by the FDIC to certain persons who engaged in unethical conduct with respect to such institution. Grants FDIC rules priority over the conflict of interest or ethical rules of other agencies or Government corporations with respect to any officer, director, employee or independent contractor acting for or on behalf of the FDIC.

(Secs. 21 and 22) Amends the FDIA to: (1) extend its whistleblower protections to FDIC contractors; and (2) establish within the FDIC a separate Division of Asset Disposition to exercise all powers of the FDIC with respect to the liquidation of insured depository institutions and the disposition of their assets.

(Sec. 23) Amends the Inspector General Act of 1978 to: (1) make the office of Inspector General of the FDIC a presidential appointment (currently an agency appointment); and (2) provide that the compensation of existing employees of such office will not be reduced by such change.

(Sec. 24) Amends the FHLBA to establish the position of deputy chief executive officer of the RTC.

(Sec. 25) Amends the FDIA to apply certain Federal due process protections regarding prejudgment attachment of assets and related injunctions (without the usual Federal requirement that the applicant show irreparable and immediate injury, loss, or damage).

(Sec. 26) Requires the Comptroller General to study and report to the Congress on: (1) the efficacy of the RTC Affordable Housing Program in providing affordable low-income housing; and (2) feasibility of establishing a single Federal agency to consolidate real property disposition activities now conducted separately by the RTC, the FDIC, and certain other Federal agencies.
