FFIEC Issues Policy Statement on Examination Reports

As part of its ongoing exam modernization initiative, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council om March 6 issued a policy statement aimed at promoting clarity and consistency of examination reports. The policy statement, which is intended to reduce regulatory burden for community banks and credit unions, includes principles that “set forth minimum expectations of what should be included in all reports of examination.”

Among other things, the principles establish that all reports on examinations should present conclusions and issues in order of importance; document the condition and risk profile of the institution; discuss the adequacy of the institution’s risk management practices; and document issues of supervisory concern or warranting prompt corrective action.

Concurrently, the agencies are rescinding their 1993 Interagency Policy Statement on the Uniform Core Report of Examination.

Read the policy statement.
