Abstract:
The proposed guidance includes two supervisory initiatives. First, the Federal Reserve would conduct a special horizontal review of incentive compensations practices at 28 large complex banking organizations. The policies and implementing practices adopted by these firms in response to the final supervisory principles would become a part of the supervisory expectations for each firm and would be monitored for compliance. Second, the Federal Reserve would review incentive compensation practices at regional, community, and other banking organizations not classified as large and complex as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process. These reviews would be tailored to take account of the size, complexity, and other characteristics of the banking organization.

Short Statement:
The Federal Reserve has identified certain aspects of the proposed guidance (policies and procedures) that may constitute a collection of information. Under Principle 2 of the Guidance (Compatibility with Effective Controls and Risk Management) a banking organization should establish strong controls governing its process for designing, implementing, and monitoring incentive compensation arrangements. Under Principle 3 of the Guidance (Strong Corporate Governance) a banking organizations board of directors should review and approve the overall goals and purposes of the firms incentive compensation system. The board should provide clear direction to management to ensure that its policies and procedures are carried out in a manner that achieves balance and is consistent with safety and soundness.
