OCC Puts Pressure on Large FIs
Responding to the wake-up call provided by the 2008 financial crisis, the OCC has published final guidelines regarding the governance and risk management of large financial institutions. The guidelines focus on establishing and implementing written policy related to risk governance, and also provide minimum standards for institutions' boards of directors regarding overseeing such written policies. Implementation is based on the pending publication date in the Federal Register and will be dependent upon the size of the financial institution. [9/3/14]
